Correct Answer � C
Explanation

|
Ans. C. Ureterocele
- Plain radiograph shows no calcification along the urinary tract. Post intravenous contrast radiograph shows dilatation of the left distal ureter showing a “cobra’s head” appearance and “radiolucent halo” effect. Findings represent intravesical Ureterocele of left ureter.
- Ureterocele represents abnormal dilatation of the distal ureteric segment. Ureterocele may be associated with either a single or a duplex ureter. Ureteric duplication is present in about 75% cases of ureteroceles. Ureterocele has a female predilection.
- Ureterocele can be further classified into simple and ectopic types.
