Dorsal penile curvature with megameatus intact prepuce hypospadias and “septum glandis” deficiency
I read with great interest the article recently published in the Journal of Pediatric
Urology titled “Dorsal penile curvature and megameatus intact prepuce hypospadias:
A common association in a rare variant of hypospadias”(1). The authors report on the
association (19%) of the dorsal curvature with the megameatus intact prepuce (MIP)
variant of hypospadias. The MIP is characterized with a subcoronal wide-mouth meatus
with deep glanular groove associated with normal prepuce. Although the patients with

) hypospadias were included in the study, I congratulate the authors on their important
observation, which can be explained by the ligamentous structural forces between the
corporal bodies and the glans that increase the stability of the glans.
