Congenital prepubic sinus accompanied by prevesical abscess

Letter to editor: One case of congenital dorsal penile cutaneous fistula

Congenital cutaneous fistula in the pubic area in infants and young children is a very rare congenital dysplasia disease, mainly manifested by abnormal punctiform opening near the midline of the area. What we are going to describe is a case of a 2-month-old boy with a congenital dorsal penile cutaneous fistula. At first, the main manifestation was pus at the opening of the fistula. The child recovered well after surgery without obvious complications.

Congenital prepubic urachal-cutaneous fistula

Congenital prepubic fistula is a very rare congenital anomaly that manifests as a punctiform opening in the midline of the pubic region. According to Campbell, congenital prepubic fistulae are duplicates of the dorsal urethra. Recent investigations have shown that this problem may have a complex etiology. We report a case of a congenital prepubic fistula in 2-month old female neonate, which manifested as a simple punctiform opening in the pubic region, with purulent secretion that resulted from applying pressure to the region. The surgical treatment was successful, and the infant had an uneventful postoperative course of healing.
