Urethral duplication is a rare congenital urological anomaly that can be detected incidentally or due to urinary symptoms in young patients. Symptoms may include recurrent urinary tract infections, dysuria, bifurcated urinary stream, urinary incontinence, and purulent discharge from the accessory meatus. The pathophysiology remains poorly understood, with various embryological theories proposed. Treatment typically involves surgical excision of the accessory urethra, especially in symptomatic cases. Urethral duplication is often associated with other malformations, and Effman's classification system categorizes it into three types based on the location of the accessory urethra. We present the case of a 4 years old boy with anterior sagittal epispadias urethral duplicity.
