Summary
This study details a rare case of partial bifid phallus, a congenital anomaly, successfully treated in a 2-year-old. The surgical intervention ensured normal penile function post-treatment.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Congenital Anomalies
Background:
- Diphallia, a rare congenital anomaly, presents with varying degrees of penile duplication.
- Bifid phallus, a subtype of diphallia, is infrequently documented, with classifications including complete and partial forms based on duplication extent.
- This condition is frequently linked to other urogenital abnormalities like hypospadias and the exstrophy-epispadias complex.
Observation:
- A 2-year-old patient presented with penoscrotal hypospadias and a partial bifid phallus.
- The partial bifid phallus involved duplication along the penile shaft.
Findings:
- Successful surgical correction of the partial bifid phallus and associated penoscrotal hypospadias was achieved.
- The patient experienced no postoperative complications related to penile function.
Implications:
- This case highlights the successful management of a rare congenital penile anomaly.
- Effective surgical treatment can restore normal penile function in pediatric patients with bifid phallus and hypospadias.
- Further research into rare congenital anomalies like diphallia is warranted to improve understanding and treatment strategies.
