Case of urethral duplication seen by voiding urosonography

Hanisha Patel et al. Clin Imaging. 2018 May-Jun.

Abstract

A 3-month-old premature male infant with imperforate anus and hypospadias underwent contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (ceVUS) followed by voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). Images from the ceVUS demonstrated a distinct linearity arising dorsally from the posterior urethra that partially opacified with contrast. VCUG confirmed a urethral duplication. To our knowledge, this exceedingly rare anomaly has yet to be reported by ceVUS.

Keywords: Child; Contrast-enhanced ultrasound; Contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography; Urethral duplication; Voiding cystourethrography.
