title: Ejaculatory ducts opening into accessory urethral channel with hypospadias and absent verumontanum: a rare association.
abstract: Ejaculatory ducts draining into accessory urethral channel opening into perineum is rare. This is a case report of a 27-year-old male who had hypospadias surgery at 3 years of age, presenting with discharge of semen through the perineal opening from adolescence. Cystoscopy and dye study showed that it was a short channel communicating with both ejaculatory ducts. Cystoscopy of the native urethra revealed that the vermontanum had not developed. The mucous lined accessory urethra was anastomosed to the bulbar urethra. Urethrogram done after one year showed that the accessory urethra was draining well into the bulbar urethra. Such type of accessory urethral channel communicating with ejaculatory ducts and associated with hypospadias and absent vermontanum has not been reported so far.
