This study details two rare cases of fusiform megalourethra, highlighting complex congenital anomalies. Preliminary urinary diversion and staged reconstruction offer potential for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Fusiform megalourethra is a rare congenital condition characterized by abnormal urethral dilation.
  • Complex associated anomalies can significantly impact patient management and outcomes.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric patients presented with unusual features of fusiform megalourethra.
  • Patient 1 exhibited left hydronephrosis, ureteral duplication, bladder septum, and Y-shaped urethral duplication.
  • Patient 2 presented with abdominal muscle deficiency syndrome, ectopic anus, and rectourethral fistula.

Findings:

  • Both patients underwent preliminary urinary diversion.
  • Patient 1 proceeded to staged reconstruction with a hopeful prognosis.
  • Patient 2 unfortunately succumbed to urinary sepsis.

Implications:

  • Preliminary urinary diversion is a crucial initial step in managing complex fusiform megalourethra.
  • Staged surgical reconstruction offers a viable approach for long-term rehabilitation in select cases.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are vital for improving outcomes in patients with these rare congenital abnormalities.
