obstruction of ureter (artery crosses anterior) and hydronephrosis
what is hydronephrosis?
distention of renal pelvis an calices with urine
a single umbilical artery usually indicates?
unilateral renal agenesis
bilateral renal agensis is associated with?

accessory kidney
accessory kidney with its own ureter results from?
formation of two ureteric buds
an ectopic ureter can insert in?
prostatic urethra in males or the urethra in females
a urachal fistula causes?
urine to be expelled through the umbilicus
what is congenital megacystis?
