Abstract
Large calculi were observed to pass spontaneously from both a true and a false ureterocele. Since the walls of the ureter in the false ureterocele are assumed to have normal muscular coats and the walls of the true ureterocele have been found to possess a normal number of muscle fascicles (which are however more thinly distributed), expulsion of the stone in both cases might be anticipated. Further, the size of the stone passed from the true ureterocele indicates that its orifice may be as distensible as that of the normal ureter, so that immediate instrumental or surgical intervention is not warranted.
