Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Ureterocele is a common disorder characterized by cystic dilatation of the terminal submucosal portion of 1 or both ureters. Conventional imaging modalities for the diagnosis of ureterocele include intravenous urography and voiding cystourethrography; gray-scale sonography, augmented by color Doppler and spectral analysis studies, can be useful in diagnosing and managing this condition as well. We describe the diagnosis of ureterocele using transvaginal gray-scale and color Doppler sonography with spectral analysis in 2 women. Color Doppler sonography demonstrated urine flow into the bladder, and spectral analysis was used to measure the flow velocity. Together, these modalities can provide additional information about urinary flow dynamics, aid in implementing treatment for patients with ureterocele, and eliminate the need for invasive diagnostic procedures.
