Megaureter in adults: a review of the current literature.

MU in adults is a rare condition presenting with heterogeneous symptoms. CT scan and transabdominal ultrasonography should be used as diagnostic tools. Nearly all patients underwent surgical treatment with an uneventful follow-up. Complications such as stone formation and altered function of the affected kidney are common. Surgical treatment is recommended and is determined by consideration of age, symptoms, ureteral extension and progressive loss of renal function.
