ABSTRACT
Preservation of renal function remains the main goal of follow-up of a child with antenatal hydronephrosis. The question remains as to how long we need to follow these children. Even after several decades, the indications and timing of surgery in a newborn with hydronephrosis are still debated. Herewith, we report the case of a 9-year-old male child who was diagnosed to have hydronephrosis on antenatal scans and was managed conservatively postnatally who presented after 9 years with recurrent urinary tract infections.
ABSTRACT
Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is identified to be a common source of congenital obstructive lesion of the anterior urethra. Up to 80% of children with AUVs develop bladder dysfunction, bladder instability, hyperreflexia, diminished compliance and capacity. We report a case of an unusual presentation of a child with AUV and diabetes mellitus.
