"A duplex collecting system, or duplicated collecting system, is one of the most common congenital renal tract abnormalities. It is characterised by an incomplete fusion of upper and lower pole moieties, resulting in a variety of complete or incomplete duplications of the collecting system. While considered an anatomical variant, duplex collecting systems may be complicated by vesicoureteric reflux, obstruction or ureterocele."
"Most duplicated systems are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally 2. However, where symptoms do occur (infection, reflux or obstruction), the patient is likely to have completely duplicated ureters."
