Spontaneous ventral urethral fistula in a young man whose mother had a retained IUD in uterus during the gestation.

Urethral fistula is rare and is usually a complication of penile and urethral surgery. A few congenital cases have been reported. To our knowledge, there are only 2 reports about spontaneous ventral urethral fistula in the English literature. We present what we believe is the first case of a patient with spontaneous ventral urethral fistula whose mother had a retained IUD in uterus during the gestation.
