✦ Synopsis

THE ectopic ureter is a rare anomaly. Fraser (1938) suggested an approximate incidence of I : 130,000 persons. Yet in all, only some 300 cases seem to have been reported. Clearly many must have been unrecorded and no doubt many have gone unrecognized. The incidence is far higher in females, incontinence leading to diagnosis. In the male incontinence is not a feature and the diagnosis is likely to be made only when infection is present. Eight cases only have been diagnosed in males during life (Meredith Campbell, 1937). It is possible that the anomaly is, in reality, less rare in boys than this would suggest and that some cases of obscure enuresis may have such an explanation.

The 4 cases here recorded have been met with in the Urological service of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, over a comparatively short period. All had been treated for varying times ' wets the bed ' only if sitting up.
