Combination of posterior urethral valves and urachus remnants has been described as rare occurrence. We report a case of a baby boy with normal antenatal scans, in whom the presence of large urachal cyst and posterior urethral valves causing high pressure bladder and chronic kidney disease was found. The patient underwent ablation of posterior urethral valves at 23 days of life and urachal cyst removal at age of 4 and a half months.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
