Urethral duplication is a rare congenital malformation mainly affecting men and boys. Although a number of theories have been proposed to describe this condition, the actual mechanism of this disorder is still not clear. This article highlights a case of urethral duplication in a 15-year-old boy. The malformation was characterized by the presence of continent epispadic and normal apical urethra. Retrograde urethrogram through both urethral tracts simultaneously revealed the malformation as Effmann type IIA2. The patient was not offered surgical intervention as he was asymptomatic and had no problems except for a double stream of urine.
尿道重复畸形是一种罕见的先天性畸形,主要影响男性和男孩。尽管已经提出了一些理论来描述这种情况,但这种疾病的实际机制仍不清楚。本文重点介绍了一名15岁男孩的尿道重复畸形病例。该畸形的特征是存在可控性阴茎头型尿道和正常的顶端尿道。同时通过两条尿道进行逆行尿道造影显示该畸形为埃夫曼IIA2型。由于该患者无症状,除了排尿呈双流外没有其他问题,因此未对其进行手术干预。
