“…Most reports in literature describe series of few patients and different surgical approaches including open valves resection or endoscopic ablation [6,7]. In the last decades, cystourethroscopy with valves ablation has become the standard treatment for AUV, often allowing voiding symptoms resolution and preventing from upper urinary tract damage.…”

“…The Anterior urethral valve is an uncommon congenital malformation of the lower urinary tract, with an incidence rate of 1/30∼1/7 of the posterior urethral valve (PUV) (1.6∼2.1/10,000) ( 9 ). Many cases are not diagnosed until childhood or adolescence, during which time the symptoms persist, leading to irreversible kidney damage ( 10 ). The etiology of AUV is still controversial.…”

The deformation of congenital obstruction of the anterior urethra is rare in male infants. The anterior urethral valve (AUV) and diverticulum are not common causes of distal urethral obstruction, which may be significant but difficult to diagnose in time. We describe a premature infant who was diagnosed with AUV as part of a diverticulum in the anterior urethra and was presented as massive urinary ascites without hydroureters and hydronephrosis. After indwelling abdominal tube and urinary catheterization, the infant’s massive ascites were resolved, while urethral obstruction had successful treatment by Holmium laser. We suggest that the presence of urinary ascites in fetuses and neonates should be considered as a warning against urinary malformations.
