[Complete urethral duplication in a girl].
Urethral duplication is a very rare malformation which occurs almost exclusively in males. Associated genital and urinary malformations are frequent, and the approach in symptomatic cases in surgical management. This paper presents one case of a full double urethra in a 9-year old girl with repeat urinary infections and incontinence. The accessory urethra was surgically removed using perianal and abdominal access. Evolution has been favourable with disappearance of symptomatology.
