Case Report of a Congenital Anterior Urethral Diverticulum in a Sudanese Child

INTRODUCTION Congenital urethral diverticulum (CUD) is a rare urological anomaly characterized by an outpouching or saccular dilatation of the urethra, present at birth. While urethral diverticula can be acquired due to various factors such as infection, trauma, or iatrogenic injury, the congenital form represents a distinct clinical entity, primarily affecting male children [1,2]. The incidence of CUD is low, making it an uncommon cause of lower urinary tract obstruction in paediatric populations [3].
