[Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine by George M. Gould]@TWC D-Link bookAnomalies and Curiosities of Medicine CHAPTER VI 220/293
Flajani speaks of the termination of the ureters in the pelvis; Nebel has seen them appear just beneath the umbilicus; and Lieutaud describes a man who died at thirty-five, from another cause, whose ureters, as large as intestines, terminated in the urethral canal, causing him to urinate frequently; the bladder was absent.
In the early part of this century there was a young girl examined in New York whose ureters emptied into a reddish carnosity on the mons veneris.
The urine dribbled continuously, and if the child cried or made any exertion it came in jets.
The genital organs participated but little in the deformity, and with the exception that the umbilicus was low and the anus more anterior than natural, the child was well formed and its health good.
Colzi reports a case in which the left ureter opened externally at the left side of the hymen a little below the normal meatus urinarius.
