“…One suggests a failure of migration of the mesenchymal cells of the primitive streak, during 3 rd week of embryogenesis, around the cloacal membrane that later on develops into the cloacal folds. 5 The other proposes the delayed or deficient canalization of the glandular urethra 6 fusiform type of megalourethra are complicated by other anomalies 7 However, in our case none of associated anomalies were found hence indicating the rarity of this isolated scaphoid megalourethra. Our patient presented at five years of age far later than other reported cases in literature.…”

Megalourethra is an infrequent malformation of the anterior urethra that is caused by the lack of corpus sponigosum and in severe cases is accompanied by the lack of corpora cavernosa as well. We report a five-year-old boy presented to us with scaphoid variety of megalourethra having complaints of ballooning of urethra during voiding. He was investigated with urethrogram and cystoscopy and subsequently repaired with Nesbitt Longitudinal Reduction Urethroplasty. He had smooth recovery postoperatively with normal voiding stream on follow up.

Congenital megalourethra is a rare disorder of anterior urethra. This disorder is characterized by the congenital absence of corpora spongiosum or cavernosa or both which leads to dilatation of the urethra. We present a case of congenital megalourethra in a 9-month-old child, which was associated with left ectopic megaureter and bulbar urethral stricture. Most of reported cases were treated by Nesbit urethroplasty. This case was initially treated by emergency trocar cystostomy and the left ureteroneocystostomy, and finally, reduction urethroplasty was carried out as a definitive treatment.
