Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER V
95/135

Cole speaks of a child with two well-developed male organs, one to the left and the other to the right of the median line, and about 1/4 or 1/2 inch apart at birth.

The urethra bifurcated in the perineal region and sent a branch to each penis, and urine passed from each meatus.

The scrotum was divided into three compartments by two raphes, and each compartment contained a testicle.

The anus at birth was imperforate, but the child was successfully operated on, and at its sixtieth day weighed 17 pounds.
Lange says that an infant was brought to Karg for relief of anal atresia when fourteen days old.

It was found to possess duplicate penises, which communicated each to its distinct half of the bladder as defined by a median fold.
