Giant calculus in anterior urethral diverticulum

Acquired Urethrocutaneous Fistula in Children: Case Series of Unusual Presentations of a Usual Condition

Urinary-cutaneous fistulas are typically treated by pediatric urologists and typically arise after surgical interventions. The three atypical cases of acquired urethrocutaneous fistula that we present here have variously resulted from an untreated periurethral abscess to complications of an initial urethral calculi. To prevent an intraoperative surprise, learning from our cases put emphasis on the importance of early intervention and a high index of suspicion for underlying calculi. We also cover the pathology, diagnosis, and therapy of these uncommon instances of acquired urethrocutaneous fistula.

Giant urethral calculus in a 6-year-old girl

Urinary stones are rarely seen in the urethra and are usually encountered in men with urethral stricture or diverticulum. Primary urethral calculi are extremely infrequent in females. We describe a case of a giant urethral stone impacted in a 6-year-old girl.

A case of giant urethral storie

— The Authors report a case of giant urethral stone, localised in one of the penile urethra diverticula. Statistically urethral stones are less than 1 % of all urinary stone cases and do not present particular diagnostic or therapeutic problems. We have presented this case solely for its rarity.
