Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly of the lower urinary tract which includes a wide range of anatomical variations. Y-type urethral duplication, which represents 6-30% of all forms, describes the condition, in which a functional urethra is implanted in the rectum with dysplastic topic urethra within penis. We report a case of premature newborn boy with multiple congenital anomalies (long-gap esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula, atrial and ventricular septal defect) and II A2 Y-type of urethral duplication. Diagnosis and management as well as review of literature on this subject are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
