Female double urethra: a case report

J Pediatr Surg. 2012 Aug;47(8):e29-31. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2012.04.006.

Abstract

Female double urethra is a very rare anomaly, with less than 40 cases reported since 1970. Most reported cases of double urethra are in the sagittal plane and tend to be stenotic. We describe a 4-year-old girl with double urethra, which was not stenotic and was in the coronal plane. Double urethra should be excluded among other causes in any girl who is incontinent beyond the continence age.
