    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Human Anatomy
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Congenital anomalies of the lower urinary tract are rare.
    • Understanding anatomical variations is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of a previously undescribed accessory urethra were identified in male pediatric patients.
    • The supernumerary urethra originated anterior to the vesical neck, coursed anterior to the prostate, and crossed the orthotopic urethra.

    Findings:

    • In one patient, the accessory urethra terminated as a blind-ending channel.
    • In the second patient, the accessory urethra opened onto the posterior aspect of the scrotum.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the spectrum of known congenital urethral anomalies.

  • Recognition of this anomaly is important for accurate diagnosis and management of related urogenital conditions.
  • Further research may elucidate the embryological origins and clinical significance of this accessory urethra.
