A study of primary megaureter – Our experience

Though every dilated and large ureter can be described as Megaureter, Primary obstructive megaureter is the entity wherein the dilated ureter is associated with a short, juxtavesical, narrow, adynamic segment and is not associated with reflux.

Apart from the clinical presentation of this disorder, the modalities of arriving at the Diagnosis, the associated complications and the management are discussed.
