Abstract
Anterior urethral valves are a rare cause of obstructed voiding in adolescent children and are often unheard by adult urologists. In this case report, we discuss the management of two adolescent patients who were referred to us with obstructive voiding symptoms with a diagnosis of neurogenic bladder and posterior urethral valves respectively but on evaluation were found to have anterior urethral valves. This article highlights the need for considering anterior urethral valve as an important differential diagnosis in children and adolescents presenting with obstructive voiding symptoms so as to avoid delay in diagnosis and management in young boys.
