Anterior Urethral Valve and Anterior Urethral Diverticulum with an Intradiverticular Stone: A Case Report and a Literature Review

Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare but well-defined congenital anomaly. AUV can be isolated or occur in association with anterior urethral diverticulum (AUD). Here, we present the first pediatric case report of AUV and AUD which is complicated with an intradiverticular stone. We also review the literature involving AUV with AUD cases.

Divertikül İçi Taş ile Birlikte Anterior Üretral Valv ve Anterior Üretral Divertikül: Olgu Sunumu ve Literatür Gözden Geçirmesi

Anterior üretral valv (AÜV), az görülen fakat iyi tanımlanmış bir konjenital anomalidir. AÜV, izole veya anterior üretral divertikül (AÜD) ile birlikte görülebilmektedir. Biz bu yazıda divertikül içi taş ile komplike olmuş ilk pediatrik AÜV ve AÜD olgusunu raporladık. Ayrıca literatürdeki AÜD ile birliktelik gösteren AÜV olgularını da gözden geçirdik.
