Obstructing urethral valve in a woman: a case report.
We report on a woman with a urethral valve causing obstruction, hyperreflexia, vesicoureteral reflux and retention. The diagnosis of urethral valves in female subjects rests on endoscopy and radiographic studies. Transurethral resection of the valve is effective treatment. The literature is discussed briefly.
