ABSTRACT: Epispadias is a rare genitourinary
malformation, more so is epispadias with intact prepuce. Incidence of
epispadias with intact prepuce is not known however, there are few case reports
and a case series. We present a 5-year-old boy brought to our facility by his
parent for circumcision. Further evaluation revealed a short penis with broad
base and intact prepuce. The preputial slit was dorsally oriented. On
retracting the prepuce, there was corona epispadias with wide and healthy
urethral plate. No meatal stenosis or chordee noticed. Other findings were
normal. He had epispadias repair. The postoperative period was uneventful.
Three months after operation, the prepuce was easily retractable over the penis
and the penis was cosmetically acceptable.
