Posterior urethral valve and vesical calculus are individually among the most common causes of obstructive lower urinary complaints in children. There are very few reports of association between posterior urethral valves and bladder calculus. We report three such cases. This association of the vesical calculi with posterior urethral valves may lead to a delay in the diagnosis of the posterior urethral valves. The diagnosis of posterior urethral valves should be suspected in all children with vesical or urethral calculi who have persistence of symptoms even after removal of the calculi.
后尿道瓣膜和膀胱结石分别是儿童下尿路梗阻性疾病最常见的病因之一。关于后尿道瓣膜与膀胱结石之间关联的报道极少。我们报告三例此类病例。膀胱结石与后尿道瓣膜的这种关联可能导致后尿道瓣膜的诊断延迟。对于所有患有膀胱或尿道结石且即使在结石取出后症状仍持续存在的儿童,均应怀疑后尿道瓣膜的诊断。
