Congenital prepubic sinus: an epispadiac variant of urethral duplication: case report and review of literature.
Urethral duplication is rare; the duplicated urethra is almost always dorsal to the normal urethra, which contains the sphincteric mechanism. It is very rare to present as a prepubic sinus. Urethral duplication does not represent a uniform entity making it difficult to find an unequivocul and comprehensive classification. A case of epispadiac variant of urethral duplication is reported in which the duplicated urethra presents as a prepubic sinus, with complete cure and normal urinary and sexual functions after maturity.
