Multiple congenital polyps of the verumontanum in a boy: A case report
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Congenital urethral polyps are a rare cause of obstructive urinary symptoms in childhood. The diagnosis is usually made by ultrasonography, voiding cystourethrogram, and urethrocystoscopy. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with multiple congenital polyps of the verumontanum, who had symptoms of abdominal pain, urinary tract infection and nocturnal enuresis, and whose symptoms totally disappeared following electrofulguration of the polyps.
