Anterior Urethral Valve: Uncommon Association with Renal Duplicity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anterior urethral valves (AUVs) is an unusual cause of congenital obstruction of the male urethra, being 15-30 times less common than posterior urethral valves. We present a case of AUV diagnosed at 24th gestational week. Ultrasonography and fetal MRI revealed hydronephrotic kidneys with ureteral duplicity, a distended bladder and perineal cystic mass which confirmed dilated anterior urethra in a male fetus. Diagnosis was confirmed postnatally by voiding cystourethrogram and surgery.

متن کاملAnterior Urethral Valve and Diverticulum in a Neonate with Urinary Tract Infection
Introduction:Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare congenital anomaly that can cause obstructive uropathy. AUV can lead to variable urinary tract symptoms, and if left untreated, it can result in end-stage renal disease. AUV should be immediately evaluated and managed. Herein, we present a neonate with AUV and diverticulum, who was treated by cystoscopy. Case report:A 11-day-old boy was ref...

Anterior urethral valve is an uncommon abnormality whose etiology is uncertain, unlike in the case of posterior urethral valve. Glanular anterior urethral valve is even rarer. We present an unusual case of anterior urethral valve, which presented with acute urinary retention and was successfully managed with excision and glans reconstruction. A history of poor stream and dribbling, recurrent ur...
متن کاملAnterior Urethral Valve: A Rare But an Important Cause of Infravesical Urinary Tract Obstruction
BACKGROUND Urethral valves are infravesical congenital anomalies, with the posterior urethral valve (PUV) being the most prevalent one. Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare but a well-known congenital anomaly. AUV and diverticula can cause severe obstruction, whose repercussions on the proximal urinary system can be important. Few cases have been described; both separately and in association...
متن کاملAnterior urethral valve in the fossa navicularis presenting as a split urinary stream in a child.
An anterior urethral valve is uncommon compared to a posterior urethral valve as a cause of lower obstructive uropathy. Furthermore, an anterior urethral valve in the fossa navicularis is extremely rare. We describe the case in a 6-year-old boy who presented with a split urinary stream. Endoscopy revealed an anterior urethral valve in the fossa navicularis, and we successfully incised the valve...
