Abstract

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital abnormality with varied clinical manifestations; less than 300 cases were reported in the literature. Urethral duplication (UD) commonly seen in male than female and is a very rare anomaly. Urethral duplication can present with double urinary systems, urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract systems. Retrograde urethrogram will be helpful in diagnosis. Treatment depends upon clinical presentation but there is lack of consensus on best managment. We present images of 6-year-old child presented with two streams due to congenital Effman type 2A II urethral duplication.
