[Ureteric valves: a report of two cases].

Ureteric valves are a rare cause of ureteric obstruction. Fifty cases have been described in the literature. We report two new cases. The first is of a 12-year-old child with left multiple ureteric valves associated to bilateral vesico-ureteric reflux. The patient was treated by uretero-ileoplasty with unfavourable evolution to renal failure. The second case is that of a proximal ureteric valve discovered in a 30-year-old woman who had postpartum acute pyelonephritis. Treatment consisted in ureteric resection-anastomosis with favourable outcome. Based on a review of the literature, we discuss epidemiologic, etiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this malformation.

[Bladder herniation].

Inguinal hernia of the bladder is uncommon. The diagnosis is frequently done during surgery. It can be evoked before surgery when the patient presents with irritative and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms. Retrograde urethrocystography or computerized tomography confirm the diagnosis. We report a case of bilateral inguinal hernia involving the bladder at the right side in a 87 years old man who had a surgical history of transvesical adenomectomy of the prostate. The diagnosis was done on the retrograde urethrocystography. We performed bilateral herniorrhaphy with herniated bladder reduction. The postoperative history was uneventful.
