| Abstract |
Ureteral atresia is a rare disease usually associated with a non-functioning kidney. Its association with other urinary anomalies is rare. In this study we discuss the possibility of congenital or acquired etiology of a right imperforate distal ureter. Here we report the case of 11-month-old white boy with a right ureteropelvic junction obstruction. He underwent a right pyeloplasty when he was 11-months old, and 3 weeks after surgery a cystoscopy was performed. Two months after the first operation, he underwent a right ureteral meatoplasty and a new pyeloplasty. To the best of our knowledge, few cases of imperforate distal ureter have been described in the literature. The suspicion of a non-patent terminal ureter, occurring during upper urinary tract surgery, must be intraoperatively clarified to preserve the renal function and to avoid more complex surgical approaches. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 October 2015.
All research outputs
#18,428,159
of 22,829,683 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#2,257
of 3,919 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,081
of 278,126 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#28
of 59 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,683 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,919 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 278,126 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 59 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
