“…There are approximately 300 known cases. 1 , 2 The most common classification systems are the Effmann 3 or Woodhouse and Williams 4 systems. The former is considered more therapeutically practical and is more commonly used to describe anomalies.…”

Until this 24 -year -old male was sexually active, the small dimple on his penile glans had never required any consideration. However, persistent focal irritation during sexual intercourse compelled him to pursue medical attention. Following urological consultation he was referred for imaging evaluation that demonstrated urethral duplication. After determining the subtype classification, urologic repair was successfully completed without complication. Urethral duplication is an exceedingly rare genitourinary anatomic anomaly with a variety of presentations and symptomatology. The vast majority of urethral duplications are diagnosed within the paediatric and adolescent populations. Although urethral duplication is managed by urologists, imaging identification of the particular subtype is critical for proper management planning. A thorough review of existing literature on the classification strategies and diagnostic criteria is discussed. Owing to the scarcity of clinical experience, a wide variety of diagnostic approaches are described. These often include unnecessary radiation, invasiveness and cost. A strategic and efficient diagnostic algorithm is included to guide future imaging evaluation of suspected urethral duplication. This provides the essential clinical information, while minimis ing radiation, invasiveness and cost.

“…Urethral duplication generally occurs in males and is usually diagnosed at a young age. 1,2 The most widely used classification of urethral duplication was developed by Effmann et al and is based on the radiological anatomy of the patient's urethrogram (Figure 4). 4 The most common subtype is type 1-A.…”

“…3 Proposed theories include irregular ingrowth of the lateral mesoderm, abnormal termination of Mullerian duct, defects in the development of the urogenital sinus and ischaemic events in embryogenesis. 1,2 Most urethral duplication occurs in the sagittal plane. 2,3,5 The ventral opening is usually the functional one and contains the sphincteric mechanism.…”

“…Many theories have been put forward explaining the etiology for Urethral duplication like abnormal embryological closure of the Mullerian canal, incomplete mesodermal closure, ischemic injury during embryogenesis and abnormalities during development of urogenital sinus [1]. Patient presents with different presentations including recurrent urinary tract infections to penile deformities [2].…”

Urethral duplication is very rare congenital anomaly with ill defined etiology. Very few cases have been reported in literature till date. Patients may present with urinary incontinence, abnormal or dual urinary stream, recurrent urinary tract infections and sometimes associated penile deformity. Aim of presenting this case report is to limelight one of such rare presentations. Herewith reporting a case of 16 months old baby boy presented with history of recurrent urinary tract infection, solitary kidney with grade 4 primary vesico-ureteric reflux and duplication of urethra. Diagnosis and treatment plan in such cases require a multistage approach.
