Anterior congenital urethrocutaneous fistula is a rare urethral anomaly with only a few cases and short case series being reported in the literature. The anomaly can present with variable clinical features and other associated anomalies. It is important to have a good understanding of the anomaly for an optimal outcome. We reviewed our successfully managed three cases of congenital anterior urethrocutaneous fistula with variable presentation requiring different treatment strategies.
