title: [Complete urethral duplication with dorsal epispadiac urethra: case report].
abstract: Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with variable clinical presentation. A number of theories have been proposed to describe the embryology of the condition; the actual mechanism of the disorder is still unclear. We present a 2-year-old boy with complete urethral duplication and two functional sphincters. Functional and surgical results were satisfying with good continence.
