Area of Science:

Urology
Pediatric Urology
Congenital Anomalies

Background:

Urethral duplication is a rare congenital anomaly.
Epispadias involves abnormal urethral development, often associated with other genitourinary abnormalities.
Complete epispadiac urethral duplication is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

A case of complete epispadiac urethral duplication is described.
The urethral opening was located at the base of the penis.
The patient exhibited intermittent urinary incontinence.

Findings:

The anatomical structures were otherwise normal, which is atypical for this condition.
The intermittent nature of incontinence in the presence of complete duplication is a unique clinical feature.

This case highlights variability in the presentation of urethral duplication.

Implications:

Understanding rare variations in urethral development is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
This case may inform surgical approaches and management strategies for similar anomalies.
Further research into the embryological basis of such presentations is warranted.
