We review 6 previously unreported cases and 35 cases reported in the literature. The distinction between scaphoid and fusiform megalourethra seems arbitrary, and the disorder is better viewed as a spectrum rather than as 2 distinct entities. Significant concomitant upper urinary tract abnormalities may be present in any patient with megalourethra, a fact that should lead to the routine investigation of the upper urinary tract in all patients with this developmental anomaly. © 1986 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByKester R, Mooppan U, Ohm H and Kim H (2018) Congenital MegalourethraJournal of Urology, VOL. 143, NO. 6, (1213-1215), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1990.Locke J and Noe H (2018) Megalourethra: Surgical Technique for Correction of an Unusual VariantJournal of Urology, VOL. 138, NO. 1, (110-111), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1987.
