Abstract
Summary: It is the pseudo-cystic dilatation of the sub-mucosal terminal ureter. It is a rare congenital pathology, diagnosed more and more in newborns because of antenatal exploration, and which often remains asymptomatic in adults and discovered fortuitously, if not revealed in the context of complications dominated by lithiasis. In our case, we were dealing with a 30-year-old patient, without any notable pathological history, who was admitted to the emergency room for the management of renal colic. The etiological work-up was in favor of a left orthotopic ureterocele, complicated by lithiasis in the form of an iliac ureteral stone.
