Anterior urethral valves- a case report

Anterior urethral valves. A case report.

Anterior urethral valves are rare anomalies which cause obstructive uropathy in the lower urinary tract of young men. We discuss our illustrative case and review the English medical literature in order to analyze the clinicopathologic spectrum. We propose a hypothesis of embryology of this lesion and present guidelines for its management.

OBJECTIVE To discuss clinical signs, diagnostic tools and therapeutics of anterior urethral valves, an obstructive anomaly of the urinary system in males. DESCRIPTION Signs of urinary tract obstruction were identified on pre-natal ultrasound in two male fetuses and the diagnosis of anterior urethral valves was made through post-natal evaluation. As an initial treatment, vesicostomy was perfor...

A case of hypospadias, anterior and posterior urethral valves

This report outlines the case of a 3-year-old boy whose initial presentation was that of asymptomatic hypertension (lowest recording 148/90), found at preoperative check prior to stage 2-correction surgery for distal hypospadias. Upon diagnosis of true hypertension, an ultrasound of the child's renal tract showed evidence of marked hydronephrosis and calyceal dilatation. On the background of de...

Anterior Urethral Valve: a Case Report.

Anterior urethral valves--a rare cause of urethral obstruction.

Anterior urethral valves is a very rare congenital anomaly of the anterior urethra. It produces symptoms of varied intensity with the most severe ones leading to Urosepsis and renal failure (similar to as in posterior urethral valves) to the milder ones which may not produce any obstruction at all. However unlike the Posterior urethral valves this anomaly has milder and reversible sequelae in m...
