Ureteral pseudodiverticulosis is most commonly associated with chronic infection or inflammation, among other urinary tract pathologies, and occurs most commonly in older patients. There is an association with malignancy; therefore, close follow-up is recommended.
On urography, ureteral pseudodiverticulosis may appear as a few separate well-developed outpouchings or as closer, poorly developed ones.
Retrograde urography may allow better distension and visualization of pseudodiverticula. Post-drainage images may allow even better visualization due to stasis of contrast material in the pouches.
