AbstractRetrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly which has a incidence of occurence of one in 1500 live births. It is known to occur 2.8 times more commonly in males than females. While carrying out a study on congenital anomalies in urinary system in a collection of still born fetuses, a case of retrocaval ureter was noticed in a still born male foetus. In Retrocaval ureter, ureter is S shaped on the right side and a part of inferior vena cava is anterior to the proximal part of the ureter. Here the development of ureter is normal. Whereas the development of inferior vena cava is abnormal.
