Congenital duplication of the urethra with urethral diverticulum: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Duplication of the urethra is a rare congenital anomaly. Urethral duplication with the presence of diverticulum is a rare combination and to the best of our knowledge has not been previously reported. We report a case of a 16 month old male child with duplication of the urethra and diverticulum arising from the ventral urethra. We also cover the intricacies and challenges in the management of such a case. The opening of the narrowed accessory dorsal urethra at the verumontanum was cauterized and gradually the dorsal urethra became atrophied. The ventral urethral diverticulum was excised. This case is unique due to: The unusual presentation of swelling over the dorsum of the penis, together with duplication of the urethra with diverticulum.The use of cauterization as a treatment modality. Cauterization of the ventral urethra with a Bugbee electrode and diverticulectomy was performed. A glidewire helped in identifying the small opening of the dorsal urethra at the level of the verumontanum. The case also highlights the importance of endoscopic management of this clinical entity.

Male urethral diverticula are rare and can be congenital or acquired. We report a case of acquired urethral diverticulum presenting as a scrotal mass in a paraplegic male. On physical examination, the scrotal mass mimicked a primary intrascrotal lesion. However, on retrograde urethrography, the correct diagnosis was made. The patient had a small incontinent spastic bladder with a history of pro...
متن کاملCongenital Anterior Urethral Diverticulum in Children: A Case Report and Review
Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum (CAUD) is an uncommon condition in children. We describe 2 patients of CAUD who presented with ventral penile swelling; in one, the site of swelling was just proximal to corona which is quite rare. The diagnosis was made on USG and MCU. Both patients had normal renal function. Open diverticulectomy and primary repair was done in both patients.
