Abstract

Urethral triplication is a rare congenital anomaly of the lower urinary system, with <15 cases reported so far. We present a 24-month-old boy with accessory hypoplastic urethra ending in glans. At the beginning of toilet training, urine output was observed along the rectum. Rigid cystoscopy shows a perineal urethra starting in the posterior urethra. Subsequently, flexible cystoscopy showed entry of epispadic urethra in the bladder immediately superior to the bladder neck. It was running parallel to primary urethra. Then, we observed two most frequent types of urethral duplication in the sagittal plane in a single patient.
