Résumé
Triplicate ureter is a rare congenital anomaly of the upper urinary tract. In this case we present a triplicate ureter with ipsilateral ureterocele in a 9 years old boy. After literature review we found out this presentation very rare. Ureteral triplication classified by Smith into 4 subtypes, and usually associated with other congenital abnormality, most common one is contralateral ureteric duplication. Usually this anomaly is asymptomatic. We present a type 3 ureteral triplication. Although triplicate ureter is a rare congenital anomaly, we must keep it in our differential diagnosis of unexplained urinary symptoms.
