Abstract:
Posterior urethral valve is a cause of obstructive uropathy in infants and children. But there also have been a few descriptions in adults. We report a case of posterior urethral valve in a 57year-old adult with wonder that upper urinary tract is intact despite so late a diagnosis of the disease.
