Abstract

Aphallia is a rare genital anomaly poorly reported in literature. The authors describe an atypical case of aphallia characterized by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings of atrophic cavernous corpus associated with anterior urethral opening. Aphallia is a complex malformation, featuring various anomalies which should be assessed before electing a specific treatment.
