Resumen

La duplicidad de la uretra masculina es una malformación congénita de presentación infrecuente. La mayoría de los casos se diagnostican durante la infancia, por la observación de dos meatos uretrales, o bien por el desarrollo de alguna complicación, habitualmente obstructiva. La cistouretrografía miccional es una prueba imprescindible, tanto para confirmar el diagnóstico de esta patología, como para determinar el tipo de duplicidad uretral. Se recomienda asimismo la realización de urografía intravenosa, por la posible asociación con otras anomalías congénitas urológicas y extraurológicas. El tratamiento se realiza en función de las manifestaciones clínicas del paciente, recomendándose una actitud expectante en los casos asintomáticos.

Presentamos un caso de duplicidad uretral incompleta, diagnosticado por un cuadro miccional obstructivo, secundario a una estenosis de uretra, que fue tratado mediante uretrotomía endoscópica y septotomía distal, con la consecución de un excelente resultado clínico.

Abstract

Duplication of the male urethra is an uncommon congenital malformation. The majority of cases are diagnosed during infancy, and are detected by observing two urethral meatus, or by the appearance of some form of complication, normally of an obstructive nature. Micturitional cystourethrography is an essential test, both in confirming diagnosis of this pathology, and in determining the type of urethral duplication. Excretory urography is also recommended due to its association with other possible urological and extra-urological congenital disorders. Treatment is based on the patient’s clinical symptoms, with a waiting period considered advisable for asymptomatic cases.

Here we present a case of incomplete urethral duplication, diagnosed from a bladder outlet obstruction, secondary to stenosis of the urethra, which was treated with an endoscopic urethrotomy and distal septotomy, obtaining excellent clinical results.
