ABSTRACT

Objective: To present two cases with urethral duplication that were resolved by surgery. Description of the cases: We present two patients aged three and four years, with type IA urethral duplication according to the Effmann classification. Both were treated surgically by exeresis of the accessory urethra. Conclusion: Urethral duplication is a rare malformation, which occurs more frequently in men. Surgical management is reserved for symptomatic cases.
