Abstract

The prepubic congenital sinus is a rare type of urethral duplication of unknown origin. Different embryological theories and classifications has been proposed. Most cases are diagnosed during childhood. The Retrograde Urethrocystography is very important as it determines the diagnosis and helps choosing the best treatment option. We present a case of a prepubic congenital sinus in a 39 years old male who presented with purulent discharge from an accessory meatus in the base of the penis.
