Most common type of congenital anomalies of urinary system is the abnormality of renal collecting system.  One such variation is duplication of ureter. It may be complete or incomplete and often accompanied by various complications and with other congenital anomalies. In study of 98 normal foetuses incidentally we found 5 foetuses having unilateral bifid ureter, Male (2): Female ratio (3) and Right (3): Left (2). Anomalous sides have double while normal side having single limb. Both limbs joined at certain distance before entry to urinary bladder wall. In histological slides double lumen on anomalous side and single lumen on another side is seen. The study of bifid ureter is useful for Nephrologists and gynecologists for abdominal and pelvic surgeries.
