Rare Associations with Posterior Urethral Valves

Posterior urethral valves are a common cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction. Known associations include cardiac malformations and gastrointestinal abnormalities. In this case series, we report on two cases of PUV associated with anorectal malformations along with a case of PUV in monochori...

description Posterior urethral valves are a common cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction. Known associations include cardiac malformations and gastrointestinal abnormalities. In this case series, we report on two cases of PUV associated with anorectal malformations along with a case of PUV in monochorionic diamniotic twins. We explore the difficulty in achieving a diagnosis and the final management. The association of posterior urethral valves in a patient with anorectal malformation should be suspected in case of associated oligohydramnios or oliguria postnatally. There should be a high index of suspicion in twin pregnancy even if only one of the twins is suspected of bladder outlet obstruction.
