Urethral Duplication Associated with Ectopic Scrotum: A Case Study.

Urethral duplication is a rare anomaly with varying clinical manifestations. About 300 cases have been reported till date and are often associated with genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) tract anomalies. A 6-day-old neonate presented with an absent anal opening and a tiny perineal fistula having slight meconium staining. He did well after anoplasty. Low anorectal malformation (ARM) has been reported as the GI anomaly associated with urethral duplication. However, an ectopic scrotum as the principal GU tract anomaly associated with urethral duplication is being reported for the first time in literature with probable embryologic explanation. The GU tract anomalies were successfully repaired surgically later in infancy.
