ABSTRACT
Urethral duplicity is a rare congenital malformation. We report a case of one 25 years old male suffering recurrent urinary infections. The diagnostic of uncompleted urethral duplicity was performed by retrograde urethrography and micturating cystourethrogram. The accessory channel was excised by a perineal approach. Clinical results were satisfactory, remaining an asintomatic patient two years after surgery, with normal mictional behavior.

La duplicidad uretral masculina es una malformación congénita poco frecuente. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 25 años con infecciones urinarias de repetición que fue diagnosticado mediante uretrografía retrógrada y cistouretrografía miccional de duplicidad uretral incompleta. El tratamiento consistió en la resección quirúrgica por vía perineal de la uretra duplicada incompleta. El resultado clínico fue excelente, quedando el paciente asintomático con funcionalidad uretral dentro de la normalidad (AU)
