先天性男子前部尿道憩室の1例

Abstract

This paper is concerned with a case report of a boy with congenital anterior urethral diverticulum associated with bilateral ureteropyelectasis. The patient is a 2-year-old boy who had complained of a sac-like swelling of his penis which developed at each urination. The diagnosis was made by means of retrograde and voiding urethrocystography. He was admitted to our clinic and underwent simultaneous diverticulectomy and urethroplasty which were conducted with the aid of perineal urethrostomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the voiding function has become normal since. The authors also reviewed 37 children up to 15 years of age with congenital anterior urethral diverticulum so far reported in Japan.
