[Prenatal diagnosis and neonatal management of posterior urethral valves: apropos of 33 case reports].
The existence of valves in the posterior urethra (33 cases) carries a poor prognosis since 25 to 50% of these newborns will develop terminal renal insufficiency. Antenatal diagnosis permits early treatment and should lead to an improved functional prognosis in cases where the number of nephrons is not too low.
