What is another word for ureterocele?
Pronunciation: [jˈʊ͡əɹɪtəɹˌə͡ʊsə͡l] (IPA) 
Ureterocele is a medical term used to describe the swelling or protrusion of the ureter in the bladder. This condition is caused by a congenital abnormality that obstructs the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. However, there are other terms used to refer to ureterocele, which includes ureteral cyst or bladder diverticulum. Ureteral cyst is a synonym used to describe a sac-like or cystic dilation of the ureteral lumen that communicates with the bladder. It is usually caused by a congenital abnormality or obstruction. On the other hand, bladder diverticulum is a medical term used to describe a herniation of the bladder that forms a sac-like structure. This condition can also lead to ureterocele due to the diverticulum compressing the ureter.
