Abstract :
Purpose: Infra-vesical obstruction is uncommon in infants and generally due to urethral valves. Congenital urethral
strictures (CUS), instead, defined as a concentric narrowing of the urethral lumen, are exceedingly rare in
infants.
Materials and Methods: We reviewed our experience with 7 patients treated at our institution for CUS
