A New Dimension in the Diagnosis of Posterior Urethral Valves in Children

Abstract: Infants with posterior urethral valves may seem to have diverse and unrelated symptoms when, in fact, the clinical findings are all related to the primary effect of the valves during various stages of early growth. In some, prenatal urinary obstruction leads to such severe oligohydramnios that the fetus is stillborn. Others, somewhat less affected, are born alive but have severe respiratory distress from hypoplastic (stiff) lungs and die of respiratory problems. Still others can be associated with massive asci… Show more

“…A review of cases presented in the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] suggests that there are two subtypes of perirenal urinomas; diffuse and localized. Diffuse perirenal urinomas [2][3][4]8] extend throughout the confines of the perirenal space, conform to its shape and use the renal fascia as their walls. They probably represent an acute extravasation of urine under relatively high pressure that is unimpeded by the contents of the perirenal space [1].…”
