Abstract :
A posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a congenital obstructive defect of the male urethra, and sometimes maybe life
threatening. The diagnosis of PUV is usually made early because of its symptoms and has rarely been diagnosed
in adults for the first time in life. Here we report a rare case of an adult PUV in a 67 year-old man with 40 years
history of urinary obstruction complaints with coincidence type 1 and 2 of PUV who underwent transurethral
resection of the bladder neck and valve ablation. After 6 months follow-up, no evidence of urinary obstruction
observed.
