An ectopic ureter means that the small tubes that normally carry urine to the bladder don’t properly connect to the bladder.

Ureters are the thin tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. In a child with an ectopic ureter, the ureter doesn’t connect properly to the bladder and, therefore, drains somewhere else.
An ectopic ureter is sometimes associated with a duplex kidney, a condition in which a single kidney has two ureters.
