Abstract
Congenital posterior urethroperineal fistula (CUPF) is a urothelium-lined tract between
the posterior urethra and perineum. This condition is rare and has been proposed to
be a urethral duplication variant. A case of CUPF that was misdiagnosed and surgically
treated as a rectourethral fistula is presented. The clinical presentation, diagnosis,
and treatment of CUPF are discussed and compared with those of Y-type urethral duplications
and H-type rectourethral fistulas.
