Disease in Duplicate Ureters -5 Unilateral Urbtbral Duplicity (Dextra). Fig. 1.—Dorsal view.—The distal ureter markedly dila-ted, (hydroureter). The ureter is not absolutely duplicate—an ineh of the distal ureteral ends coalesce and dilateprevious to entrance into the bladder—ending in a singlevesicle ureteral orifice. The cause of death was interstitialnephritis (dextra ), parenchymatous nephritis of left kidney.The distal coalesced extremity of the right ureter is cysti-cally dilated. Ureteral catheterization might decide thiscondition with X-ray of ureters in situ.

Unilateral Ureteral Duplicity—(Sinistra).Fig. 2.—Ventral view.—The proximal ureter of the leftside is dilated, that is, one of the left duplicate ureters isa hydro-ureter. The distal termination of the distal ureteron the left side presents malposition—ends in internal ori-fice of urethra. No ureteral crossing exists. This is anunusual anomaly, and is perhaps due to distortion. Theproximal ureter, in ureteral duplicity, ends distalwards andmedialwards to that of the distal ureter, as a rule.
