CONGENITAL POSTERIOR URETHRAL PERINEAL FISTULAS - A UNIQUE FORM OF URETHRAL DUPLICATION

Three unique cases of urethral duplication, often referred to as conge nital posterior urethral perineal fistulae, are presented. Presenting signs and symptoms, evaluation, and treatment are discussed, and the l iterature is reviewed.
