The anomaly can present in isolation or in association with chordee or hypospadias. We report the case of an 8-month-old boy with CAUF that resembles the embryological urethral groove. On examination, a wide urethral groove was noted to cover the midshaft of the penis with a well formed urethra extending proximally and distally and with a normal glandular anatomy, a wide glandular meatus, and a complete foreskin. The urethral groove was tubularized and covered in layers. Surgery was complicated with early superficial skin dehiscence not affecting the urethral repair.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Refashioning of the skin was then performed. A satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcome was observed at 7 years' follow-up. Defining the anatomy of CAUF and distal urethra is key in management of these children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1721469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,29]],"date-time":"2021-01-29T23:57:36Z","timestamp":1611964656000},"page":"e9-e12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Congenital Anterior Urethrocutaneous Fistula with a Persistent Urethral Groove"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"09","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4689-994X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hazem","family":"Mosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Urology, Evelina London Children's Hospital, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Garriboli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Urology, Evelina London Children's Hospital, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1301","DOI":"10.1007\/s00383-019-04523-z","article-title":"Postoperative outcomes in distal hypospadias: a meta-analysis of the Mathieu and tubularized incised plate repair methods for development of urethrocutaneous fistula and urethral stricture","volume":"35","author":"H Winberg","year":"2019","journal-title":"Pediatr Surg Int"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.AJPS_97_17","article-title":"Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula: a systematic review","volume":"15","author":"Y Lin","year":"2018","journal-title":"Afr J Paediatr Surg"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1430","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-5347(05)68330-9","article-title":"Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula","volume":"162","author":"A A Caldamone","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"33","DOI":"10.3941\/jrcr.v10i2.2533","article-title":"Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula at the penoscrotal junction with proximal penile megalourethra: a case report","volume":"10","author":"S-Y Cheng","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Radiol Case Rep"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-7796.84953","article-title":"Congenital penile urethrocutaneous fistula: a rare anomaly and review of literature","volume":"3","author":"R M Shukla","year":"2011","journal-title":"Urol Ann"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"814","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1464-410X.1997.00201.x","article-title":"Congenital fistula of the penile urethra","volume":"79","author":"A Maarafie","year":"1997","journal-title":"Br J Urol"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100983","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eucr.2019.100983","article-title":"Congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula: a case report and review of literature","volume":"27","author":"A Hassan","year":"2019","journal-title":"Urol Case Rep"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0036-1588015","article-title":"Urethral duplication with two hypospadic meati-an unusual variant","volume":"4","author":"J R Davidson","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr Surg Rep"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100","DOI":"10.4103\/0971-9261.116042","article-title":"Y-type urethral duplication in children: management strategy at our center","volume":"18","author":"S Singh","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg"}],"container-title":["European Journal of Pediatric Surgery Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0040-1721469.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,19]],"date-time":"2023-10-19T18:12:56Z","timestamp":1697739176000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0040-1721469"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,27]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0040-1721469","relation":{},"ISSN":["2194-7619","2194-7627"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2194-7619","type":"print"},{"value":"2194-7627","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]}}}
