We present a true diphallia in one fetus of dichorionic twins noted at 23 weeks of gestation. In this fetus, two phallus-like protrusions and a bifid scrotum, as well as a duplicated collecting system of both kidneys, were found on ultrasonogram. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Hypertrophy
-
Ventricular Hypertrophy
Echocardiogram revealed significant right ventricular hypertrophy of unclear etiology, with no structural defects. During surgery, he was found to have a high anorectal malformation and sigmoid colostomy was performed. [ashg.org]
Treatment
The material is in no way intended to replace professional medical care by a qualified specialist and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis or treatment. [orpha.net]
Imaging also help in decision making during treatment. Treatment Several factors are considered during the treatment of diphallia, these are; medical, ethical and aesthetic factors. [impocity.blogspot.com]
In this case the sooner treatment is started, the fewerproblems related to sexual behavior, will be in the future. Surgical treatment diphallia is to remove less developed penis. [man.vsebolezni.com]
The treatment needed will depend on the individual case and on how much the normal function of the organ and the cosmetic appearance is affected. The treatment will also depend on the presence of any other anomalies which may need treatment too. [internalmedicine.imedpub.com]
The anatomy of a specific case can be a cause for concern when developing a treatment plan. One treatment option is surgical reconstruction. [wisegeek.org]
Prognosis
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Diphallia is dependent upon the severity of the signs and symptoms and associated complications, if any Individuals with mild conditions have better prognosis than those with severe symptoms and complications Typically [dovemed.com]
Prognosis Infants born with diphallia and its related conditions have a higher death rate from various infections associated with their more complex renal or colorectal systems. References R. Mukunda, P. S. Bendre, R. G. Redkar, and S. [impocity.blogspot.com]
There is no cure or standard treatment for anencephaly and the prognosis for patients is poor. Most anencephalic babies do not survive birth, accounting for 55% of non-aborted cases. [smashinglists.com]
Echogenic kidneys might also be seen and are associated with a poor prognosis [ 14 ]. Fig. 7 Posterior urethral valves. [doi.org]
Etiology
This is a unique case of a duplicated phallus, duplicated rectum, and an imperforate anus without clear genetic or environmental etiology. [ashg.org]
The etiology is unknown and its appearance varies from a small accessory penis to complete duplication and it is associated with other urogenital, gastrointestinal, cardiac and musculoskeletal congenital malformations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.ro]
Prevention
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.ro]
Thus, early treatment on this kind of anomalies will prevent some possible few problems in terms of sexual behavior in the near future. Images Sources: IMAGE SOURCE: Fig.1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig.4 / [healthsurgical.com]
