Abstract:

 

Urethral duplication and megalourethra are rare urethral anomalies. However, the concomitance of urethral duplication and double megalourethra has not been reported previously. The concomitance of these two rare anomalies and more importantly its surgical treatment makes this case report unique and valuable.

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.

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.
