A 35-day-old boy presented with complaints of an enlarged deformed penis and a history of difficulty in micturition. Haematological and biochemical analyses as well as renal tract sonography were normal. Retrograde urethrography revealed congenital megalourethra which was confirmed on cystourethroscopy. The literature pertaining to the types, aetiology, associated abnormalities, differential diagnosis, imaging and management of megalourethra is discussed.
