Accessory urethra in a male infant: A case report
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Accessory urethra is a rare congenital anomaly and has varied presentations. Multiple surgical techniques have been described for its correction. We report a case of accessory urethra in a male infant, which was recognized incidentally. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and optimal knowledge of the anomaly is mandatory for the surgical team to achieve a good outcome.
