title: [Two rare congenital malformations of the female urethra].
abstract: Two cases of incontinent females due to malformations of the dorsal wall of the urethra are presented and surgical corrections are discribed. The causal factors for the development of the malformations are explained by irregularities of the Wolffian ducts' regression during the transition period between in gonadal development between the 3rd and 5th week of gestation. The new medical technical term "indifference-syndrome" is proposed, to distuingish these malformations of the female urethra from true hypospadia.
