ASSOCIATION OF ANTERIOR AND POSTERIOR URETHRAL VALVES. IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECOGNIZE THIS ASSOCIATION IN CLINICAL SIGNS AND RADIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS?
Abstract
We present a rare association of anterior and posterior urethral valves. A 5 days‑old boy was admitted because of clinical presenation of lower urinary tract obstruction. A renal ultrasound and voiding cysto‑urethrography revealed obstructive pathology in anterior urethra. On endoscopy an association of anterior and posterior urethral valves was recognized, and the valves were incised. Follow‑up demonstrated improvement of preoperative signs. We try to recognize an association of anterior and posterior urethral valves in radiological examinations.
