Two cases of unusual urethral complications after resection of sacrococcygeal teratoma.
This report describes 2 rare complications of a sacrococcygeal teratoma leading to urethral obstruction in 1 case and midurethral necrosis in the other. The anomalies appear to be based on pressure necrosis of the urethra by mechanical compression between the symphysis pubis and the teratoma.
