Megalourethra: a case report managed with a single intrauterine bladder aspiration

Congenital megalourethra is a rare mesenchymal anomaly of the male urethra, characterised by severe dilatation of the penile urethra due to congenital absence of the corpus spongiosum and/or corpus cavernosum. Postnatal complications include voiding and erectile dysfunction as well as renal insufficiency and pulmonary hypoplasia. We present a unique case of congenital megalourethra diagnosed prenatally in the early second trimester. The parents opted to continue pregnancy and vaginal delivery of a live neonate occurred with a favourable outcome.
