title: [Epipadiac duplication of the urethra].
abstract: Urethral duplication is a less frequent malformation. The Williams classification, which is currently admit, classifies them in sagital, hypospadias or complex and collateral duplications. They can be complete, incomplete or reduced to an incomplete sinus. The most severe cases are often accompanied by multi-abnormality syndromes. Clinical manifestations are various: asymptomatic, urinary infection, incontinence, double urinary stream,... We will report two new cases of incomplete epispadias duplication. The first case presents a purulent flow from the fistula, the second a frank epispadiac status. In both cases, corrective surgical treatment was performed, after a complete balance-sheet. The embryological, diagnostical and therapeutical aspects of the different forms of urethral duplication will be studied based on data from literature.
