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.
