| Abstract |
The presence of an ectopic ureter may be indicated by continuous wetting, despite a normal voiding pattern, especially in girls. In most cases, an ectopic ureter is associated with a duplex collecting system and complete ureteral duplication. A 5-year-old girl presented with urinary incontinence regardless of the successful toilet training and a suspicion of left duplex kidney on a previous ultrasound. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a double left kidney with double ureters, both inserting together into the vagina. The surgical treatment consisted in the "en block" reimplantation of the ectopic ureters into the bladder, with complete resolution of the symptoms. The reported case does not represent just a typical presentation of a single ectopic ureter, as the duplex kidney system had ectopic both ipsilateral ureters (with insertion into the vagina). This case reminds us that congenital abnormalities of the genito-urinary tract should be considered in case of urinary incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 June 2018.
All research outputs
#18,639,173
of 23,090,520 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Pediatrics
#3,435
of 6,137 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,990
of 328,030 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Pediatrics
#63
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,090,520 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,137 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,030 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
