Abstract

Background: Anterior urethral diverticulum and valve are rare causes of lower urinary tract obstruction in children and cause recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Case Presentation: A 7-year-old male child presented with dribbling of urine and pain during micturition. RGU and MCUG showed a narrowed mouth diverticulum in the anterior urethral wall. He underwent laser fulguration of the posterior obstructing lip of the diverticulum which resulted in excellent urinary flow postoperatively.

Conclusion: Anterior urethral diverticulum and valve can be easily treated by valve fulguration using Laser of Bugbee with an excellent prognosis. It can avoid further deterioration of the upper tract with simple treatment.
