Abstract:

Most megalourethrae are either scaphoid or fusiform. This condition is usually associated with many congenital malformations especially urogenital and gastrointestinal. Present case report is one of the most unusual types where the entire urethra from tip of the penis right down to perineum was hypospadiac which doesn’t conform with Stephens and Fortune theory of failure of recanalization as a cause of megaIourethra. The child, however, did not have any other associated abnormalities.
