Abstract Introduction Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is the leading etiology of lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) in boys and an important cause end-stage renal disease (ESRD) children. The aim this article to review current status on antenatal intervention for PUV as well postnatal medical surgical management. Main body MEDLINE, EMBASE, Pubmed Google Scholar search was conducted throughou...

Posterior urethral valves occur in 1 : 5000 live births. Despite the high prevalence, the few children that survive do poorly, with over 50% progressing to ESRD in 10 years. The gold standard for post-natal diagnosis is voiding cystourethrography, while pre-natal diagnosis is dependent on routine screening ultrasonography. Despite the ability to identify features of bladder outlet obstruction e...

Bladder outflow obstruction is a well recognised problem in the newborn, infants and children. In Pakistan a large number of these patients suffer from stone in the urinary bladder which are treated by vesicolithotomy. However a group develops outflow obstruction due to a number of other causes and posterior urethral valves in the male is one such cause. Posterior urethral valves are congenital...

Background: Urethral caruncles are benign lesions of the distal urethra which have been most commonly described in post-menopausal women. Over the years, urethral caruncles had been described in women. However, in 2012, Karthikeyan and associates [1] reported a urethral caruncle in a male. Urethral caruncles resemble a variety of urethral lesions including: urethral carcinoma; urethral divertic...

Computed tomography (CT) is the accepted frontline imaging modality for blunt abdominopelvic trauma. However, urethral injuries are traditionally diagnosed with retrograde urethrography. The CT appearances of urethral injuries and the signs associated with posterior urethral injuries are not well described in the literature. CT scans of patients with pelvic fractures and urethrographically prov...

Anorectal malformations are frequently associated with urinary tract abnormalities, which generally consist of vesicoureteral reflux, renal agenesis, and bladder dysfunction. Posterior urethral valves associated with anorectal malformations are exceedingly rare. We report the third case described in literature and the unique management.
