An Uncommon Type of Bulbar Urethral Stricture, Sometimes Familial, of Unknown Cause: Congenital Versus Acquired

Abstract
Short strictures of the bulbar urethra not preceded by external trauma, urethral instrumentations or known urinary tract infection are described in 6 children. It is unclear whether this stricture is an acquired lesion or if it represents a congenital anomaly, possibly from incomplete canalization of the urogenital membrane.
