Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum (CAUD) is a rare cause of urinary obstruction in children. Its association with posterior urethral valve (PUV) is an exceedingly unusual occurrence. We hereby report a case of 3 years male with straining on micturition as stated by the mother underwent micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) revealing a posterior urethral valve (PUV) plus a diverticulum in the region of anterior urethra. Valve ablation was done for PUV. Open diverticulectomy and urethroplasty was done for the diverticulum. This case report represents a rare event in which two congenital causes of bladder outlet obstruction are combined.
