- Title

- Abstract
We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with a stone fragment stuck near her distal urethra without obstruction of her urinary flow. During an attempt to explore and remove the fragment, she was discovered to have complete urethral duplication with the stone stuck in one of two distal urethral orifices. This represents an extremely rare variant of a very unusual congenital anomaly, even more so as it occurs usually in male patients. Embryology, etiology, and clinical appearance of this rare anomaly are discussed. Copyright © 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel
