title: [Megalourethra in association with VACTER syndrome].
abstract: The megalourethra is an uncommon congenital anomally. It is a consecuence of the abnormal development of the corpus spongiosum and, occasionally, also the abnormal development of the corpora cavernosum. It is specially common in association with the Prune-Belly syndrome, and with upper tract abnormalities. We present a bizarre case because of its association with a VACTER syndrome.
