Description of the case:

3-year-old male who consulted for episodes of dysuria and urine leakage from the perineal region after physiological urination, on physical examination a reddened papule was found in the perineal region, which is why a voiding urethrocystography was performed diagnosing Effman's type IIa-2 urethral duplication and it was decided to perform complete removal of the accessory tract.

Relevance:

Urethral duplication is an unusual congenital entity, with very few cases reported in the literature, even described only due to anatomical concerns and is usually associated with other gastrointestinal and genitourinary malformations.

Clinical implications:

urethral duplication is a rare entity, diagnosed in childhood, which can be associated with other malformations. Voiding urethrocystography allows the diagnosis to be made. Removal of the accessory tract was the indicated treatment with a favorable outcome.

Conclusions:

urethral duplication is a rare entity, diagnosed in childhood, associated with other malformations. Voiding urethrocystography allows the diagnosis to be made. Removal of the accessory tract was the indicated treatment with a favorable outcome.
