Abstract

Background: Common types of Congenital penile anomalies (CPA) in children are; Hypospadias, Penile chordee, Micropenis, Hidden penis, Ambigous genitalia, Apenia and Unspecified genital or penile anomalies. Aim & objectives: The goal of the work was to assess the prevalence of penile abnormalities in prepubertal children. Subjects & methods: research was carried out in outstudied case clinics of Al-Azher University hospitals, carried out on 1000 children. Results: Among studied children; 5% are diagnosed with penile abnormalities. The most frequent congenital anomalies are as following; 82% hidden penis and 12% hypospadias. One case is detected for each of the following; Chordae, hypospadias and chordae and micropenis there was statistically significant relation among presence of penile anomalies and age of the studied children with mean age of cases with anomalies is 4.76 years. Statistically significant association was not detected with body mass index (kg/m2) while a statistically significant association was detected among penile anomalies and the following parameters: residence, socio-economic status with more penile anomalies among cases with urban residence. Conclusion: In children, penile anomalies are commonly discovered. There are numerous potential explanations for them.
