The concomitant presence of urethral triplication and caudal duplication is extremely rare with no previous reported cases.
We report a case of urethral triplication associated with bladder, sigmoid, and rectum duplication. The patient was initially
referred with a history of fecaluria and recurrent urinary tract infection. Physical examination revealed 2 meatal opening
on the glans penis. Further investigation revealed three distinct urinary streams, two terminating on the glans penis, and
one in the rectum in voiding cystourethrography and retrograde urethrography. Computed tomography demonstrated the bladder
divided into two compartments by a complete sagittal septum. The patient was managed by the excision of the rectal ending
urethra and removal of the bladder sagittal septum during which, two sigmoidal and rectal segments (the right one filled with
fecal) were revealed. The right sigmoid and rectum was resected. The two ventral urethras were kept intact. The postoperative
course was uneventful. At his 4 month readmission for colostomy closure, the patient reported good urethral voiding with no
complication and recurrence of urinary tract infection and the colostomy was closed with no major complication.
