Initial management of complex pediatric disorders: prunebelly syndrome, posterior urethral valves
Urol Clin North Am.
2004 Aug.
Abstract
Prunebelly syndrome and posterior urethral valves are conditions of detrusor dysfunction associated with antenatal urethral obstruction. The resultant severe hydroureteronephrosis and renal dysplasia initiate a sequence potentially leading to renal failure. This article reviews clinical features and explores neonatal evaluation and treatment for both conditions. A comprehensive approach to initial management aimed at optimal renal preservation and bladder rehabilitation is proposed.
