An extremely rare association of anterior and posterior urethral valves in the same patient is reported.
Megalourethra and urethral diverticula encompass a diverse group of congenital and acquired urethral defects. The appropriate management of these anomalies relies on a keen appreciation of phallic anatomy and an understanding of urethral embryology. A thorough history and physical examination--including a careful evaluation of the urinary tract--is necessary to identify associated congenital anomalies. Finally, satisfactory surgical management demands meticulous attention to surgical technique.
Acute urinary retention is an uncommon diagnosis in childhood, and is associated with a variety of causes. Congenital bladder diverticula, occurring almost exclusively in boys, is not a rare entity. However, acute urinary retention is an extremely rare complication of congenital bladder diverticulum. A boy with acute urinary retention caused by obstructing bladder diverticula is presented, and the surgical approach is discussed.
