“…Some consider that the two may be distinguished by the radiographic appearance on VCUG. The proximal lip of the diverticulum may be seen on VCUG, whereas a true AUV has no lip [7,8]. It was suggested that the distal lip of the anterior urethral diverticulum may act as a flap-valve.…”

“…Some cases have been described in the navicular fossa, and mistaken for urethral meatal stenosis. 4 Its occurrence has also been described in adolescents and adults 3,5 as well as in the VATER association. 6 This report describes a case of child with anterior urethral valve, emphasizing its clinical and therapeutic aspects.…”

“…Williams in 1958 2 and, since then, several cases have been described, both separately and in association with proximal urethral diverticula. 3 In terms of distribution, these valves are more common in the bulbar urethra (40%), equally occurring both in the penile urethra and in the penoscrotal junction (30%). Some cases have been described in the navicular fossa, and mistaken for urethral meatal stenosis.…”

The case is presented to discuss clinical signs, diagnostic tools and therapeutics of anterior urethral valves, an obstructive anomaly of the urinary system in males. Signs of urinary tract obstruction were identified on pre-natal ultrasound in a male fetus and the diagnosis of anterior urethral valves was made through post-natal evaluation. As an initial treatment, vesicostomy was performed in the patient. Later, the valve was fulgurated using an endoscopic procedure. During the follow-up period the patient presented normal renal function. Anterior urethral valve is a rare form of urethral anomaly that must be ruled out in boys with pre-natal ultrasound indicating infravesical obstruction. Vesicostomy used as an initial treatment rather than transurethral fulguration may prevent potential complications that can occur due to the small size of the neonatal urethra

Artigo submetido em 22.02.02, aceito em 11.09.02. ResumoObjetivo: apresentar os aspectos clínicos, diagnósticos e terapêuticos de pacientes portadores de válvula da uretra anterior.Descrição: em dois neonatos, o diagnóstico presuntivo de patologia obstrutiva do trato urinário foi sugerido pela ultra-sonografia realizada no período pré-natal, confirmando-se o diagnóstico de válvula de uretra anterior pela avaliação pós-natal. Os pacientes foram submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico paliativo, com vesicostomia temporária e, posteriormente, definitivo, pela fulguração endoscópica das válvulas. Ambos evoluíram com função renal normal.Comentários: a válvula da uretra anterior é anomalia rara que deve ser considerada em meninos com quadro radiológico pré-natal sugestivo de obstrução infravesical, secundariamente à hipótese mais comum de válvula da uretra posterior. Ressaltamos a utilização da vesicostomia como derivação urinária temporária nestes casos, prevenindo potenciais complicações pela manipulação da uretra do recém-nascido.J Pediatr (Rio J) 2003;79(1):91-4:obstrução urinária, hidronefrose.

As válvulas da uretra são as anomalias congênitas obstrutivas infravesicais mais comuns em meninos, sendo a válvula de uretra posterior (VUP) a que apresenta maior prevalência. Os casos de válvula da uretra anterior (VUA) são ainda considerados raros 1 . J Pediatr Válvula de uretra anterior Anterior urethral valvesO reconhecimento e o relato original da válvula da uretra anterior é atribuído a D.I.
