Abstract
Urethral duplication is among a very rare congenital disorder with multiple anatomical variants reported. Urethral duplication of complete type is usually diagnosed during childhood with urinary incontinence or double urinary stream as common presentation. However, patients with incomplete urethral duplication usually present with intermittent mucous discharge from the accessory urethral opening. A 20-year-old man presented to us with intermittent mucous discharge from the accessory opening along with dorsal penile curvature making sexual intercourse very difficult. The epispadiac urethral tract with proximal fibrous tract was excised, and the dorsal penile curvature was corrected by ventral plication, implicating that the fibrous cord may be the causative factor for the development of dorsal curvature. © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd (unless otherwise stated in the text of the article) 2017.
