MUNOZ VELEZ, D.; RIERA MARI, V.  and  OZONAS MORAGUES, M.. Incomplete urethral duplication in a male: A case report. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2005, vol.29, n.1, pp.93-95. ISSN 0210-4806.

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly affecting mainly males and being usually diagnosed during paedriatric age. We report a 20 year old male complaining of double urethral meatus with double urinary stream. Physical examination confirmed and additional hypospadic meatus below a normally placed urethral meatus. Retrograde urethro-cystography and voiding cysto-urethrograms showed two distinct urethras originating from a common bladder neck and the diagnosis of Effmann type IIA2 incomplete urethral duplication was made. No treatment was felt to be applied after associated anomalies were ruled out.

Keywords : Urethra; duplication; congenital anomalies.
