title: Duplication of the urethral meatus: case report of distal hypospadias and a glandular urethra.
abstract: An unusual example of congenital fistula of the distal urethra presenting in a 3-year-old boy is described. The likelihood of this deformity being a variant of hypospadias is explored and theories of the embryology of the anomaly are discussed.
