First Case of Complete Bladder Duplication in the Coronal Plane with Concomitant Duplication of the Urethra in an Adult Male

Abstract EN

Duplication of the lower urinary tract is a very rare congenital anomaly which is diagnosed either at birth or during early childhood.

These rare malformations are most of the times accompanied by other concomitant anomalies and are therefore diagnosed immediately after birth.

In some even rarer cases there are no concomitant anomalies and symptoms thus leading to a diagnosis later in childhood.

This is the first case in the literature of complete bladder duplication in the coronal plane with concomitant duplication of the urethra and no other associated anomalies in a 52-year-old male who remained asymptomatic and therefore undiagnosed for more than 5 decades.
