CONGENITAL ANTERIOR URETHRAL VALVES AND DIVERTICULA REPORT OF TWO CASES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

摘要

Two cases of congenital anterior urethral valve were reported. One was 42-year-old man, who was admitted with a complaint of urinary dribbling and found to have anterior urethral valve. He was treated with transurethral resection of the valve and the symptom was relieved after operation. The other case was 19-year-old man who visited with a complaint of sensation of residual urine and was found to have anterior urethral valve. In this case, the lesion was almost asymptomatic and he was treated with only drug administration for the infection. There have been 24 cases of congenital anterior urethral valve and 42 cases of congenital anterior urethral diverticula (under age of 15) reported previously in Japan. We discussed age distribution, symptoms and signs, complication, diagnosis, treatment and etiology, especially in pediatric patients with congenital anterior urethral diverticula and valves.
