Congenital urethral stricture is rare. It has been reported in only four sets of brothers. We report the fifth set of brothers. Cases of two brothers aged 23 and 18 years old diagnosed with low urinary tract symptoms are presented. We diagnosed an apparently congenital urethral stricture in both brothers. Internal urethrotomy was performed in both cases. Both are asymptomatic after 24 and 20 months of follow-up. Congenital urethral strictures are probably more frequent than we think. We suggest that a congenital origin should be considered if there is no history of infections or trauma.
先天性尿道狭窄较为罕见。仅在四组兄弟中报道过。我们报告第五组兄弟的病例。介绍了两名分别为23岁和18岁、诊断为下尿路症状的兄弟的情况。我们诊断这两名兄弟均患有明显的先天性尿道狭窄。两例均行尿道内切开术。随访24个月和20个月后,两人均无症状。先天性尿道狭窄可能比我们想象的更为常见。我们建议,如果没有感染或创伤史,应考虑先天性病因。
