Traumatic stricture of prostatic urethra in ten-year-old boy.
Stricture of the midprostatic urethra resulted from a pelvic fracture injury in a ten-year-old boy. The stricture was successfully managed by core-through urethrotomy and transurethral resection of the scarred area in the prostate. The possible mechanism of traumatic stricture formation at such a rare anatomic location and the therapeutic options are reviewed.
