Anterior urethral valves. A case report.
Anterior urethral valves are rare anomalies which cause obstructive uropathy in the lower urinary tract of young men. We discuss our illustrative case and review the English medical literature in order to analyze the clinicopathologic spectrum. We propose a hypothesis of embryology of this lesion and present guidelines for its management.
