    A 5-month-old infant with a urinary infection presented with a duplicated prostatic urethra and bladder. This rare congenital anomaly also involved a bladder diverticulum, vesicoureteral reflux, and bowel duplication.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Congenital Anomalies
    • Urinary Tract Infections

    Background:

    • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in infants.
    • Congenital anomalies of the genitourinary tract can predispose to UTIs.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing renal damage.

    Observation:

    • A 5-month-old male infant presented with symptoms of a urinary infection.
    • Imaging revealed a rare duplication of the prostatic urethra and bladder.
    • Associated anomalies included a right bladder diverticulum, left vesicoureteral reflux, and bowel duplication.

    Findings:

    • The infant exhibited a complex congenital genitourinary malformation.
    • Duplication of the prostatic urethra and bladder is an exceptionally rare finding.

  • The presence of multiple associated anomalies highlights the spectrum of developmental errors.
  • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of thorough investigation for underlying anatomical abnormalities in infants with recurrent or severe UTIs.
    • Understanding these complex anomalies aids in surgical planning and prognosis.
    • Further research into the embryological origins of such duplications may improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
