Abstract
Congenital megalourethra is a rare mesenchymal anomaly of the male urethra. A sparse literature is available for its early surgical management. We present here an antenatally diagnosed case of congenital megalourethra, who underwent reduction urethroplasty at 18 days of life. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest case reported hitherto.
Highlights
Megalourethra is a rare congenital anomaly of the male anterior urethra characterized by a non-obstructive dilatation of the penile urethra [1]
Prenatal diagnosis of congenital megalourethra has been reported and may be associated with pulmonary hypoplasia and renal insufficiency leading to fetal demise
We report a neonate with congenital megalourethra who presented with urosepsis in whom a reduction urethroplasty was performed by a novel technique in the very first few days of life
