A ureterocele is a dilation of the area where the ureter inserts into the bladder. Ureteroceles are a congenital abnormality which means they are present at birth. It is unknown exactly why ureteroceles form, but it is thought to be due to an abnormality of the formation of the ureter tube as it inserts into the bladder.
Instead of flowing from the kidneys to the bladder, the urine flows backward, or refluxes, into the kidneys. A ureter is one of the tubes that carries urine between your kidney and your bladder. Obstructive uropathy can cause swelling and other damage to one or both of your kidneys. This condition can affect men and women of any age. It can also be a problem for an unborn child during pregnancy.
