Penopubic epispadias with intact prepuce presenting as phimosis in an infant: A case report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Isolated epispadia is uncommon anamoly, occurring in approximately 1 out of 120,000 male births. To date, only 22 cases of epispadia have been reported with an intact prepuce and 8 cases with a phimotic intact prepuce. This paper presents the case of a 6-month-old male infant, who had been circumcised at three weeks of age, and was subsequently diagnosed with penopubic epispadias during a standard medical examination. His condition was successfully corrected using the Modified Cantwell-Ransley technique, leading to a favorable post-operative recovery. This case underscores the importance of thorough evaluation during circumcision to avoid overlooking potential diagnoses.
