    Congenital malformations constitute anomalies of structure and/or function of prenatal origin, which are often asymptomatic or cause few symptoms, but currently have a high incidence. With the aim of showing the findings detected in the imaging studies carried out, the case of a young adult with repeated mild urinary sepsis is presented, who was diagnosed with multiple and bilateral renoureteral malformations in the infertility consultation. The majority of congenital renoureteral malformations imply serious biopsychosocial problems for the patient, with the consequent impact on the psychological sphere and the social life of family members when diagnosed in the prenatal stage, so they inevitably constitute a health problem, since they contribute to fetal and infant mortality or increased morbidity in any age group. For this reason, early diagnosis is essential to guarantee appropriate behavior and quality of life.

    Purple bag syndrome is a rare manifestation of urine discoloration associated primarily with chemical reactions caused by the indoxyl sulfatase/phosphatase activity of some bacteria or as secondary metabolites of food or supplement intake, whether oral or parenteral. Its presence causes confusion, leading to unnecessary laboratory tests and treatments. Is reported the clinical case of a 49-year-old oncology patient admitted to the trauma service for a pathological fracture and urinary tract infection. She was fitted with a urinary catheter, which contained purple urine. Laboratory tests were requested to identify the causative bacteria. The catheter was replaced, and antibiotic treatment was started, leading to resolution of the clinical picture.
