title: [Ureteral valves: literature review and description of 4 new cases].
abstract: Ureteral valves are a rare malformation, with an incidence of 1 in 5000-8000 live births. Urological malformations are associated with 50% of cases according to the current literature. We report 4 cases treated in our hospital from 2004 to 2012. Three of the patients had renal dysgenesis, one case associated with complete urethral duplication, and another case associated with a ureteral atresia.
