Two cases of ectopic ureters opening at the apex of an apparent urethral diverticulum are described in girls.
An attempt is made to provide an explanation for this anomaly based on developmental anatomy. It is suggested that the "diverticulum" is a persistent segment of wolffian duct, making this anomaly in the female the counterpart of a ureter opening into the ejaculatory duct in the male.
