There are few cases reporting urinoma secondary to posterior urethral valve (PUV) in literature. Urinoma secondary to a pelvi ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction is very rare. We report a newborn with urinary ascites in whom both PUV and PUJ obstruction co-existed causing a diagnostic dilemma.

However, urinary extravasation is a rare complication among this group of children. CASE PRESENTATION Our case report presents diagnostic difficulties connected with spontaneous kidney rupture due to PUV in a 6 week-ol...

The review's second aim is to describe the effec...

Many uneventfully manageable conditions use to present after complications have been occurred. Negligence of the poor people and their blind faith on the fraudulent quacks and peers add burden to the poor health facilities in the resource poor countries. This could be one of important reas...

However, where there is a gross upper tract dilatation, consideration needs to be given to temporary diversion to allow recovery of renal function and the elimination of infection. Western literature leans strongly towards nondiversion. Ho...
