Megalourethra with posterior urethral valves.
A case of posterior urethral valves and scaphoid megalourethra is presented. We believe this is the first report to document the association of these two anomalies, although urethral valves have been reported in at least 2 patients with saccular anterior urethral diverticula. Although fusiform megalourethra is often associated with other genitourinary anomalies, the scaphoid type is thought to be an isolated defect. This report would suggest that patients with either type of megalourethra should have complete urologic investigation.
