[Megalourethra: a clinical case].
Megalourethra is an infrequent congenital malformation that compromises the penile uretra. It is the consequence of a deficient fusion of the ventral mesenchymal elements of the penis that generates the masive urethral dilatation that characterizes this pathology. Here we present a review of the literature available on megalourethra and the case of a newborn with this illness. We present it's surgical resolution with a special emphasis on the surgical technique.
