Abstract
Ureteral triplication is a rare congenital malformation of the urinary system and classified into four types. Ureteral triplication is a developmental abnormality of the ureteral bud originating from the Wolffian duct at the 5th week of embryological life. With ureteral triplication, three ureteral buds likely develop independently from the mesonephric duct, or from early fission of one or more of the ureteral buds to join the metanephros.
