Abstract

Congenital urethral polyps are a rare cause of obstructive urinary symptoms in childhood. The diagnosis is usually made by ultrasonography, voiding cystourethrogram, and urethrocystoscopy. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with multiple congenital polyps of the verumontanum, who had symptoms of abdominal pain, urinary tract infection and nocturnal enuresis, and whose symptoms totally disappeared following electrofulguration of the polyps.

Highlights

Congenital urethral polyps are rare in pediatric age groups, they may cause various morbidities such as intermittent obstruction, obstructive voiding complaints, acute urinary retention, urinary infection, bilateral ureterohydronephrosis and hematuria [1,2]
