The Association of Congenital Urethral Duplication and Double Megalourethra

چکیده
BACKGROUND Urethral duplication and megalourethra are rare urethral anomalies. However, the concomitance of urethral duplication and double megalourethra has not been reported previously. CASE REPORT A newborn was presented with penile swelling during voiding. Physical examination revealed a retractable foreskin and two external meatus of a double urethra. Retrograde urethrography demonstrated two complete megalourethras. Urethro-urethrostomy and urethroplasty were performed when the patient was 10 months old. The patient was followed up for one year without any urinary problems and has good cosmetics and urinary continence. CONCLUSION The concomitance of these two rare anomalies and more importantly its surgical treatment makes this case report unique and valuable.

Congenital megalourethra is a rare genital anomaly characterized by dilatation of the penile urethra with or without evidence of proximal or distal urethral obstruction. The urethra shows lack of corpus spongiosum and in some cases corpora cavernosa in the region of the distal urethra. The absence of these structures causes a ballooning of the urethra despite no mechanical obstruction. Some aut...

متن کاملUrethral duplication.
Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly. Although a number of theories have been proposed to describe the embryology of the condition, the actual mechanism of the disorder is still unclear. We report here a case of urethral duplication in a 11-year-old boy complaining of a double stream, and review the current literature on this rare entity.

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually seen in males and, in rare cases, in females. Several different anatomical variations have been described. Sagittal localisation is the most common type of urethral duplication that usually develops as an isolated malformation. Coronal duplications, on the other hand, are rarer and are found in association with bladder duplicatio...
