ABSTRACT

Diphalia is a rare congenital abnormality that appears in 1 out of every 5 to 6 million male live births. It is usually accompanied by genitourinary, skeletal muscle, cardiac and hepatic alterations. Its treatment should be individualized and will depend on accompanying congenital abnormalities. The main purpose of treatment is to preserve continence and erectile function.
