Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Urethral duplication is a rare lower urinary tract anomaly, which can present with a variety of clinical manifestations. Here, we report four cases of urethral duplication and review the literature to report the diagnostic approach and treatments used for this condition. The cases demonstrated the variety of clinical symptoms and anatomy considerations of this particular malformation. Surgical treatment must be individualized according to the anatomical finds.
