Urinary retention in young children and infancy is relatively rare. The commonest malignancy cause of bladder outlet obstruction in infancy is prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma; the commonest cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction in a male infantis posterior urethral valve and the commonest cause of urethral obstruction in male children is urethral calculi. We present here a report on three c...

Urethral obstruction may be caused by prostatic hypertrophy, urethral stricture, or encrustation of a urethral-catheter lumen. Bacteriuria often complicates these obstructions. The sequelae include fever, acute pyelonephritis, chronic renal inflammation, and death. We hypothesized that even brief obstruction of the urinary tract containing a nonvirulent bacterium would result in these complicat...

A seven-year-old stallion with diversion of urinary pass to the thigh due to a urethral fistula caused by gunshot perineal injury was presented to the Urmia University, Veterinary Teaching Hospital. No signs of urinary obstruction or renal failure were observed. Because of inaccessible location of the injured urethra, through a perineal urethrotomy incision, a urinary catheter was effectively a...

In women, urethral condyloma rarely leads to a bladder outlet obstruction. A 39-year-old woman who presented with frequency, urgency, and residual urine sensation was found to have a condyloma in her urethral meatus. Urodynamic study indicated bladder outlet obstruction. After condyloma excision, she returned to normal voiding, and the free maximum flow rate improved. In women, excision of uret...

Urinary obstruction is one of the causes for the morbidity and mortality, if not treated in early stages in small ruminants. Goats are more susceptible for incidence of urethral caliculi as these species having urethral process where the urethral diameter is narrowed and leads to urinary obstruction. If the condition initially not identified later bladder will rupture and leads uroabdomen. The ...

Urethral polyps are a rare finding in children. Urethral fibroepithelial polyps are usually discovered in the first decade of life. They present with voiding dysfunction, obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms, and hematuria. They may be associated with other congenital urinary tract anomalies. Histopathologically, they are usually benign lesions with no tendency to recurrence and are trea...

A 4-day-old Holstein bull calf with considerable oedema of the belly (water belly) was referred to theVeterinary Teaching Hospital of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Shiraz University. The owner did notobserve any urination since birth. Rupture of the urethra was suspected. Perineal urethrotomy was performed. Subsequently, catheterization of urethra revealed the obstruction near the external...

Cent Eur J Urol 2013; 66: 496 10.5173/ceju.2013.04.art29 The authors of the paper published in this issue of Central European Journal of Urology [1] present urethral dilatation as their preferred method of treatment of urethral obstruction. Results of their treatment are very poor. Among the 196 patients having urethral obstruction treated with bougie dilatators, as many as 172 patients (87.6%)...
