A Rare Case in Pediatric Urology: Coexistence of Congenital Anterior Urethral Diverticulum and Posterior Urethral Valve
Anterior urethral diverticulum (AUD) is considered a rare cause of urinary obstruction in children, and its association with posterior urethral valve (PUV) is also very rare.We presented our approach with the current literature in a 6-month-old male patient with coexistence of AUD and PUV.With early diagnosis and successful approach, we prevented the development of upper urinary tract damage and urinary tract infection.
