Anuria secondary to balloon catheters in children.
Two unusual cases of balloon catheter-induced anuria are presented. Certain pediatric patients and neonates, especially those with spastic neurogenic bladders or those who have had bilateral ureteral reimplantation, are more susceptible to this form of urinary obstruction. The use of non-balloon catheters or infant feeding tubes is recommended.
