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.
A ureterocele is most commonly diagnosed by ultrasound. An ultrasound is very good at detecting dilation (hydronephrosis) of the kidney and ureter that can be seen with ureteroceles as well as detecting the ureterocele itself in the bladder. Other tests are often performed when a ureterocele is diagnosed.
