INTRODUCTION The aims of this review are one, to consider that congenital urethral anomalies are not a simple disease entity in all patients. This is accomplished by reviewing the evidence for presence of posterior urethral valve subtypes and comorbidity of various unexplained clinical conditions in some children leading to chronic renal failure. The review's second aim is to describe the effec...

The aim of this study was to reveal the clinical features of anterior urethral recurrence in patients with superficial bladder cancer, and to determine the appropriate treatment. Three hundred and three patients with superficial bladder cancer, who were newly diagnosed and initially treated conservatively in our hospital between 1965 and 1990, were followed for at least 5 years and their clinic...

Posterior urethral valves are the most common cause of urinary obstruction in male children. Presentations of posterior urethral valves beyond the neonatal period include urinary tract infection, abdominal mass, renal failure,diminished urinary stream, crying during micturition,incontinence, dysuria, hematuria, or failure to thrive. Early diagnosis is imperative because early surgical relief of...

A 2-month-old boy was diagnosed with febrile urinary tract infection. Voiding cystourethrography showed bulbar and anterior urethral strictures, and endoscopic internal urethrotomy was performed. He developed febrile urinary tract infection again and revealed the recurrence of the anterior urethral stricture. Consequently, endoscopic internal urethrotomy was performed 4 times. Because the anter...

Numerous cases of congenital obstruction of the urethra are reported in the literature. The more frequent causes are posterior urethral valves, urethral bar, hypertrophy of the verumontanum, and contracture of the internal sphincter (Thompson, 1942; Fagerstrom, 1937). Less common defects include diverticulum and atresia of the urethra, and cysts of the urethral glands. The following is a rare c...

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...
