title: [Rare anomalies of the urethra in children].
abstract: Urethral anomalies are leading among anomalies of the urogenital system, especially in boys. This is explained by genetic factors, factors of damage to the internal sexual organs and complex embryogenesis. Rare urethral anomalies in children are described: doubling (n = 1), diverticulum (n = 1), ectopy of the external outlet (n = 5), mucosal prolapse (n = 6), accessory urethra (n = 3), megaurethra n = 1), high position of the urethrovesical segment (n = 1), urethral ectopy of the ostium ureteris of the accessory kidney (n = 1). The above urethral anomalies show the necessity of examination of children with minimal manifestations of urethral symptoms.
