Urethral duplication in a 1 year old: a rare case report.

BMJ Case Reports 2021 May 20
An 8-month-old male child presented with the complaint of two separate urinary streams from the penis. The child had no complaints of incontinence or recurrent UTI (urinary tract infection). Initial diagnosis of urethrocutaneous fistula was made and proceeded to micturating cystourethrography (MCU) and found to be having a urethral duplication. The duplicated urethra was excised and accessory urethra closed. Postoperatively, the child was followed up for 1 year and had no complaints of recurrence or incontinence. Through this case report, we learn about different classification systems and types of urethral duplication and their associated anomalies, and mode of management, which is mainly surgical. Further, management should be individualised to each patient based on their complaints and intraoperative findings.
