[Congenital prepubic sinus: blind epispadial duplication of the urethra].
Presentation of one case of congenital epispadial urethral duplication in a 1-year old child. The malformation consisted on one normal urethra and the other one a prepubic epispadial accessory urethra, with the proximal end finishing blind into the anterior side of the bladder. The mictional cystography performed showed normal bladder and urethra, while the retrograde urethrography through the dorsal sinus showed a 3 cm long tract with no communication to the urethra or the bladder. Treatment consisted in total exeresis of the accessory urethra by way of suprapubic approach, with no symphysiotomy. Up to the present date, the patient remains asymptomatic.
