A Case Report with a Late Dıagnosis of Anterior Urethral Valves

Abstract

Congenital anomalies are the leading pathologies that cause obstructive uropathy by causing stenosis in the lower urinary tract. Among these disorders, anterior urethral valves (AUV) are rarely seen and diagnosed based on the clinician’s suspicion. Ultrasound findings, voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), and urethroscopy are used for diagnosis. AUV can lead to serious clinical consequences, including end-stage renal disease due to late diagnosis and treatment. In our case, unilateral kidney loss occurred due to recurrent urinary infections and nephrolithiasis. Our patient, who could not be diagnosed until the period of nephrectomy necessity, was found to have an AUV as a result of cystoscopy.
