title: Congenital Y-type urethro-perineal fistula.
abstract: A case of congenital fistula between the prostatic urethra and the perineal skin in a ten-months-old male child is reported. The fistula was lined by squamous epithelium. The precise embryological origin of this fistulous communication remains controversial. We believe that this anomaly is distinct from the congenital H-type urethro-anorectal fistula.
