Description
Tilahun and co-authors report a newborn with a rare urorectal septum defect set. The baby had full penoscrotal transposition and a small phallus. No urethral opening was present at birth. The anus was closed as well, matching an imperforate pattern. A blood test showed creatinine of 2.47 mg per deciliter.
Surgery found the rectum and urethra joined in one channel. Surgeons made an anus opening and a urine outlet. The baby then passed no urine after surgery. Ultrasound showed both kidneys were multicystic and dysplastic. The authors stress early recognition for planning and family counseling.
