We present a case of a premature infant with a presumed obstructive uropathy found to be a megalourethra leading to a perinatal postrenal failure. A megalourethra - an uncommon cause of urethral dilatation - is a congenital, non-obstructive anomaly of the penile erectile tissue. We think that a distal stenosis resulted in dysplasia of the penile tissue and an aspect of a megalourethra. Further diagnostic workup included urinary tract sonograms, a voiding cystourethrogram and MAG3 scintigrafy. Initially the patient was managed with supportive care such as a suprapubic urinary catheter, followed by surgical intervention (Bengt Johanson).

Background: Vesicoureteral reflux is thought to predispose to urinary tract infection and renal scarring, and ureteral reimplantation in childhood remains the gold standard for its treatment. It has been reported that the risk of postrenal failure during pregnancy is increased among women with Politano-Leadbetter ureteral reimplantation. In previous case reports on patients with progressive hydronephrosis and renal failure during pregnancy after ureteral reimplantation, percutaneous nephrostomy was always required, so there has been no information about the clinical management of such patients by ureteral stenting.
