{Abstract}: The association between a duplex renal collecting system and ectopic ureter insertion is well-established. Although congenital genitourinary abnormalities are usually detected during childhood, incidentally, or due to underlying symptoms or medical complications, a few cases might not be diagnosed/treated until adulthood. Herein, we present a case of a 43-year-old lady who came to the emergency department with acute left flank pain associated with a burning sensation during micturition for four days. Imaging showed a duplex collecting system, and findings suggestive of obstructive uropathy. The patient underwent an initial trial of left ureteroscopy that was unsuccessful. Therefore, the interventional radiology (IR) department was consulted to perform left percutaneous nephrostomy insertion with antegrade ureteric stenting, where the patient was noted to have ectopic ureter insertion into the anterior wall of the vagina by antegrade ureterogram. The patient underwent ureter re-implantation to save the kidney from further insult.
