Abstract

Cystic dilatation of Cowper's gland ducts (Cowper's syringocele) is uncommon in pediatric age. Cowper's syringocele frequently are asymptomatic, sometimes may cause dysuria, pollakiuria and obstructive voiding symptoms. We report ten children with syringocele. Five were observed for recurrent urinary infections, three for obstructive voiding symptoms and two for post-traumatic hematuria and for urinary incontinence. Only three patients with obstructive urethral symptoms were surgically treated. In our opinion careful clinical, radiologic and endoscopic evaluation is necessary in such cases so that unnecessary surgery can be avoided.
