Abstract

We experienced a case of congenital anterior urethral valve in a 13-month old male child. He had recurrent fever and urinary dribbling. The diagnosis was based on radiologic and cystoscopic findings, and excision of the valve with suprapubic cystostomy was performed. A review of literatures was also presented briefly.
