Abstract
Accessory urethra or duplication of the urethra is a rare anomaly. The vast majority occur in the sagittal plane; however, collateral or side-by-side duplications in the absence of bladder duplication also exist. We report si x cases of urethral duplications. The mode of presentation and the importan ce of complete examination are discussed.
