Ureterocle

Ureterocele terminology sometimes gets mixed up with the pelvic organ prolapse term Urethrocele. They are two completely different things. A ureterocele is NOT a pelvic organ prolapse.

Uretherocles represent abnormal congenital dilatation of the distal-most portion of the ureter.

The dilated portion of the ureter may herniate into the bladder. 

It is detected in around 1 in 4000 children.
