Introduction
Duplication of the urethra is a rare congenital abnormality affecting males more commonly.1,2 Clinical manifestation depends on the variation of anatomic patterns present.3Urethral duplication can either be a simple accessory blind urethral tract or an independent complete urethral tract emerging from the bladder.4 Duplication is more prevalent in the sagittal plane and is divided into dorsal and ventral duplication, with fewer instances of urethras lying side-by-side.2,5 The horizontal duplication may present with phallus duplication or complete bladder duplication.1 Effmann et. al composed the most followed classification of urethral duplication as this is deemed comprehensive and accurate both anatomically and clinically.2,6 However, it failed to distinguish sagittal from coronal collateral duplication.2,7Numerous hypotheses have been put forward; however, there is ambiguity in regard to its embryology as the same explanation does not apply to all subdivisions of urethral duplication.2,3Management is based
on the type of duplication and the expression of symptoms.2 We report our experience with a case of urethral duplication in a male and discuss the management of this anomaly.
