Abstract 

Congenital mid-ureteral stenosis is a very rare entity which typically occurs on one side. This condition is usually misdiagnosed as hydronephrosis or megaureter, and only after surgery is the correct diagnosis made. We report the case of a bilateral mid-ureteral stenosis. No other cases of bilateral strictures have been found in the literature.
