Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is an anomaly of the urinary tract in male children and is the leading cause of urinary tract obstruction in the pediatric population. PUV is diagnosed radiologically by ultrasonography, both pre- and postnatally, and using micturating cystourethrography. Its prevalence and age of diagnosis may vary by demographic and ethnic background. This case highlights an older Nigerian child that presented with recurrent urinary tract symptoms and was subsequently diagnosed with PUV. The study further explores the key radiographic findings and analyzes the radiographic imaging features of PUV in various populations.
后尿道瓣膜（PUV）是男性儿童泌尿系统的一种异常情况，是儿科人群尿路梗阻的主要原因。PUV在产前和产后通过超声检查进行影像学诊断，并使用排尿性膀胱尿道造影。其患病率和诊断年龄可能因人口统计学和种族背景而异。本病例突出了一名年龄较大的尼日利亚儿童，该儿童出现反复的尿路症状，随后被诊断为PUV。该研究进一步探讨了关键的影像学表现，并分析了不同人群中PUV的影像学特征。
