Abstract
|
|
|
Megalourethra is a rare congenital abnormaly characterized by severe dilatation of urethra, the disorder at first reported by Nesbitt in 1955. The scaphoid type is due to poor development of the corpus spongiosum, whereas in the more severe
fusiform
variety the corpora cavernosa also are affected.
We present a case of congenital scaphoid megalourethra associated with acute renal failure, sepsis and grade IV bilateral vesicoureteral reflux. Initial management of this patient was vesicouctaneostomy and urethrocutaneostomy followed later by
urethral
reconstruction.
