Abstract

Abstract : Posterior urethral valve and foreign body are among the important causes of male urethral obstruction. Although one is congenital and the other is acquired, both entities are rare in children with only a few reported cases. Because of myriad of symptoms associated with both conditions, a conclusive diagnosis requires both physical examination and radiological imaging. We report a first of its kind association of posterior urethral valve with foreign body in the posterior urethra in a 6-year-old male child which was eventually managed by endoscopic intervention.
