Congenital proximal bulbar stricture in adults.
Congenital proximal bulbar stricture in adults is a definite clinical entity and should be looked for in adults with obscure urinary symptoms. The stricture is usually short and can be demonstrated with a voiding cystogram, urethrogram, and urethroscopy. The condition is thought to be due to incomplete rupture of the cloacal membrane at its junction with the urogenital sinus. The stricture can be treated easily by internal urethrotomy and/or urethral dilatation.
