Anterior urethral valves without diverticulum, a rare cause of infravesical obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux in children: Report of two cases and literature review

Congenital anterior urethral valve is a rare condition causing significant obstructive uropathy in pediatric age group. It is much rarer than posterior urethral valve. However, the clinical course is similar. We present two cases of anterior urethral valves in children.
