A congenital megalourethra is an enlargement of the pendulous urethra without evidence of distal obstruction. A 1-month-old boy presented to us with complaint of weak stream, ballooning of the penis before and during voiding and post voiding dribbling, since birth. Physical examination and cystourethroscope confirmed the diagnosis of congenital scaphoid megalourethra. He underwent reduction urethroplasty. During postoperative follow up, he had normal looking penis with good urinary stream.

Variations in the development of carpal bones are uncommon, with the scaphoid bone typically forming from the fusion of the os centrale carpi and the radial chondrification center during embryogenesis. A bipartite scaphoid is a rare congenital disorder that occurs when these ossification centers fail to fuse, with a prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 0.

We present the case of a 24-year-old man who sustained a scaphoid fracture in the presence of congenital scaphotrapezial and lunotriquetral coalitions. As the fracture progressed to a nonunion, a screw osteosynthesis was performed. The altered biomechanics caused by the two coalitions necessitated a dorso-proximal surgical approach, and two screws were implanted to prevent rotational instability.

Background: Congenital megalourethra is a urogenital anomaly characterized by a cystic dilatation and elongation of the penile urethra resulting from the absence and hypoplasia of the corpus spongiosum and corpus cavernosum, or anterior urethral valve. There are two clinical types: scaphoid and fusiform. Generally, the etiology is unknown, but it is thought to be a defect in mesodermal development.

Megalourethra is an infrequent malformation of the anterior urethra that is caused by the lack of corpus sponigosum and in severe cases is accompanied by the lack of corpora cavernosa as well. We report a five-year-old boy presented to us with scaphoid variety of megalourethra having complaints of ballooning of urethra during voiding. He was investigated with urethrogram and cystoscopy and subsequently repaired with Nesbitt Longitudinal Reduction Urethroplasty.

Stahl's ear deformity is a congenital auricular anomaly characterized by a third crus in the auricular cartilage, giving rise to an irregular helical rim and a bent scaphoid fossa. This deformity is mainly treated surgically during childhood. However, studies regarding ear-molding techniques show that postpartum splinting offers a safer and more effective permanent correction, and that happens because of the high circulating levels of estrogen that neonates receive from their mothers right after birth, making the cartilage more malleable.
