Hypospadias in Twins

Abstract

Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects among male children. Many associated risks for hypospadias have been reported like family history, older maternal age, nulliparity, high pre-pregnancy body mass index of mother, hypertension or preeclampsia, multiple gestations, low birth weight, and small for gestational age. In literature twinning as a risk factor has been consistently shown to be associated with hypospadias. We report a 2-year-old male child (one of the twins) who presented with proximal microphallic hypospadias.
