Female double urethra: a case report.

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Pediatric Surgery
• Medical Genetics

Background:

• Female double urethra is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly.
• Fewer than 40 cases have been documented globally since 1970.
• Most reported instances occur in the sagittal plane and are often stenotic.

Observation:

• This report details a unique case of a 4-year-old female patient.
• The patient presented with a double urethra that was neither stenotic nor in the sagittal plane.
• The anomaly was observed in the coronal plane.

Findings:

• The described double urethra deviates from typical presentations.
• The non-stenotic nature of this coronal plane anomaly is noteworthy.
• This case expands the spectrum of known female double urethra variations.

Implications:

• Female double urethra must be considered in the differential diagnosis of urinary incontinence in girls.
• Early identification and diagnosis are crucial for appropriate management.
• Further research into the embryological origins and clinical significance of diverse double urethra presentations is warranted.
