Abstract

Chordee without hypospadias (CWH) is an extremely rare condition. Here, we describe a case of CWH diagnosed accurately on prenatal ultrasound at 25 weeks' gestation. Physical examination of the newborn confirmed the sonographic findings. To the best of our knowledge, prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of CWH has not been reported in the literature. We emphasize the importance of observing fetal micturition to rule out the possibility of CWH before the diagnosis of hypospadias is made on prenatal ultrasound.

Keywords: chordee without hypospadias; prenatal diagnosis; ultrasonography.
