Background: Ectopic ureter is a condition when the ureter does not enter the bladder properly. The occurrence of the ectopic ureter is 1:2.000 - 1:4.000 in general population with gender ratio 6:1 in favour of females. More than 80% of cases of ectopic ureters are generally associated with complete duplication of the pelvic-ureteric system. Still, the ectopic ureter can also occur in a single pelvic-ureteric system, which is typically dysplastic or poorly functioning, such as in multicystic dysplastic kidney. This study aims to evaluate the current management of a single ectopic ureteral system with dysplastic multicystic kidneys at Sanglah General Hospital, Bali, Indonesia. Case Description: A 3-year-old girl was referred to the urology clinic of Sanglah General Hospital with chief complaint cloudy urinary since 1,5 years ago. Past medical history, the patient had a recurrent urinary tract infection with fever. Physical examination and laboratory findings were normal. However, an abdominal ultrasound showed a multicystic dysplastic kidney. VCUG showed vesicoureteral reflux grade V and ectopic ureter. Cystoscopy with retrograde pyelography and ureterorenoscopy showed an ectopic ureter opening was located in the proximal urethra above the external sphincter. Nephroureterectomy was performed. After the surgical procedure, the patient was treated and had no complaint. The patient was discharged from the hospital four days after surgery. Conclusion: The management of ectopic ureteral cases varies for each case. In this regard, the nephroureterectomy surgery performed in the case has provided good outcomes.
