Megalourethra is a rare clinical entity of absence or hypoplasia of corpus spongiosum and/or corpora carvenosa or anterior urethral valve along the pendulous urethra causing enlarged penis as a result of cystic dilatation of this part mostly during passage of urine. It may be associated with other congenital anomalies such prune belly syndrome and imperforated anus among others. We present a 10-day old neonate with scaphoid megalourethra associated with imperforated anus and pyloric stenosis. To the best of our knowledge, wehave limitedinformation on megalourethra in most parts of Africa but also, we were unable to find out any published report in East Africa regarding this rare condition especially in association with pyloric stenosis and imperforated anus.
