Congenital ureteral diverticulum is a rare urinary tract anomaly which usually can be diagnosed incidentally during surgery. Most of the pediatric cases presented with persistant urinary tract infections and high grade vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). A 4-year-old boy with incidentally diagnosed intramural distal ureteral diverticulum with grade 5 VUR case was discussed.
