Congenital megaurethra is a rare mesenchymal anomaly of the male urethra, characterized by severe dilatation of the penile urethra. The authors review the embryogenesis and management of this abnormality in the light of a case of scaphoid megaurethra observed in a new-born infant with no associated congenital anomalies who was treated successfully.
