Megaureter is an anomaly whereby the ureter is abnormally dilated. Congenital megaureter is a curious and uncommon condition which may be bilateral and is often associated with other congenital anomalies. A functional obstruction at the lower end of the ureter leads to progressive dilatation and a tendency to infection. The ureteric orifice appears normal and a ureteric catheter passes easily.
Definitive surgical treatment involves refashioning the lower end of the affected ureter so that a tunnelled reimplantation into the bladder can be done to prevent reflux.
