شماره ركورد

Abstract
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the most common cause of lower urinary tract obstruction in the male fetus in antenatal period. These are seen with a Keyhole sing of urethra, distention of bladder due to obstruction, bilateral ureters and pelvicalyceal dilation due to vesicoureteral reflux. The degree and duration of the obstruction determine the prognosis and damage to kidney. Ultrasound is the primarily and most widely used imaging modality for the diagnosis of PUV in antenatal period. For reasons related to the mother and fetus, MRI is prefered as a complementary and adjutant method. Our case shows the contribution of MRI in the diagnosis of PUV.
