'''Diphallia''', or '''penile duplication''' ('''PD''), is a [[medical]] condition in which a male infant is born with two [[penis]]es. It is estimated that one out of 5 million live births in the United States results in a diphallic [[birth defect]].
When diphallia is present, it is usually accompanied by other [[congenital]] anomalies such as [[renal]], [[Vertebra|vertebral]], [[hindgut]] or [[anorectal]] duplication. There is also a higher risk of [[spina bifida]]. Infants born with PD and its related conditions have a higher death rate from various infections associated with their more complex renal or colorectal systems.
