title: Incomplete hypospadiac urethral duplication with posterior urethral valves.
abstract: Urethral duplication (UD) is an uncommon malformation. Obstruction rarely occurs in hypospadiac UD. We describe two children with incomplete hypospadiac UD in association with posterior urethral valves, a combination not previously recognised. The embryonic significance of this anomaly is discussed. Keywords Urethral duplication. Hypospadias. Posterior urethral valve. Megalourethra
