Abstract
Urethral duplication (UD) is an uncommon malformation. Obstruction rarely o ccurs in hypospadiac UD. We describe two children with incomplete hypospadi ac UD in association with posterior urethral valves, a combination not prev iously recognised. The embryonic significance of this anomaly is discussed.
