A cecoureterocele is a rare form of ectopic ureterocele that the orifice of the affected ureter is within the bladder, but the cavity of the ureterocele extends beyond the bladder neck into the urethra. We present a case of a newborn boy with a large cecoureterocele with contralateral renal rupture. He required an emergency transurethral incision of the ureterocele for the treatment of acute renal failure and respiratory disorder.
