Misdiagnosis of Congenital Posterior Urethroperineal Fistula and Comparison With Urethral Duplications and Rectourethral Fistula

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Congenital posterior urethroperineal fistula (CUPF) is a urothelium-lined tract between the posterior urethra and perineum. This condition is rare and has been proposed to be a urethral duplication variant. A case of CUPF that was misdiagnosed and surgically treated as a rectourethral fistula is presented. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of CUPF are discussed and compared with those of Y-type urethral duplications and H-type rectourethral fistulas.
