A congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is positioned on the upper surface of the penis rather than at the tip.
From Greek ana- (back, upward) + spadon (eunuch, but in medical terminology referring to the urethral opening). The term was coined in medical Greek to describe anatomical variations.
This is one of the rarest congenital urological conditions—so rare that many medical students graduate without ever seeing a case, which is why it's crucial that anatomical terminology is precise!
