AIMS: To study the presentation of @entity850 as a complication of circumcision done in @entity1 of neonatal or nappy age. METHODS: A total of 50 @entity1 were studied. These @entity1 had meatotomy performed to treat @entity850 . All the @entity1 had circumcision during the neonatal period or in the nappy age. @entity850 was defined as change in the appearance of the delicate lips of the urinary meatus, with loss of elliptical shape to a circular shape because of @entity82 or @entity2318 , with visually apparent narrowing. @entity1 with this appearance and no symptoms, but who had presented with a @entity547 , undescended testes or some other unassociated condition and had meatotomy were for the purpose of this study classed as the incidental group. @entity1 who were symptomatic and had the @entity850 as defined above were classed as the symptomatic group. RESULTS: Sixteen @entity1 (total n = 50) had the diagnosis of @entity850 made incidentally. Thirty four @entity1 , (68% of the total treated by meatotomy) presented to the clinic, being symptomatic due to @entity850 . The median age at presentation of the symptomatic group was 48 months (range 3 months-13 years) following circumcision. In all the symptomatic @entity1 meatotomy alleviated the symptoms. All the operated @entity1 were seen between one to three months following the operation and discharged. There were no late presentations with recurrence of @entity850 or complications of the treatment. CONCLUSION: @entity850 is an under recognised complication of circumcision done in neonatal and nappy aged @entity1 . Symptomatic presentation from @entity850 can be very late.
