Concomitant anterior urethral valve and diverticulum (AUVD) and posterior urethral valve (PUV) is an extremely uncommon congenital anomaly that causes infra-vesical obstruction. We present our experience with one case of concomitant AUVD and PUV as well as the related literature review. Early diagnosis and successful management of these anomalies can improve renal function and prevents recurrent urinary tract infections and subsequent renal failure.

Background: Posterior urethral valves (PUVs) represent the most common cause of male congenital lower urinary tract obstruction, often responsible for renal dysplasia and chronic renal failure. Despite recent improvements in patients' outcomes thanks to prenatal ultrasound early diagnosis, PUVs can still impact sexual function and fertility. This study aims to review the available evidence on fertility in PUV patients, examining paternity rates and semen parameters.

Urinary tract dilations (UTDs) are the most frequent prenatal renal anomaly. The spectrum of etiologies causing UTD ranges from mild spontaneously resolving obstruction to severe upper and lower urinary tract obstruction or reflux. The early recognition and management of these anomalies allows for improved renal endowment prenatally and ultimately better outcome for the child.

Introduction: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a congenital condition marked by obstructing persistent urogenital membrane, leading to urinary tract infections, bladder dysfunction, and kidney damage. It affects males only, mostly suspected antenatally and confirmed in early infancy. It requires early diagnosis and intervention to prevent long-term complications.

Alkaptonuria is a rare inherited disease resulting from a genetic variant leading to homogentisic acid accumulation in body tissues, causing a broad spectrum of symptoms. Our case involves a Caucasian male diagnosed in his 70s, who shares a constellation of symptoms and the diagnosis with his monozygotic twin brother. The symptoms include early-onset arthropathy, tendinopathy, osteopenia, discolouration of the auricular regions and fingers, scleral discolouration, secondary glaucoma, proteinuria, calcification of the mitral valve and black urethral and prostate stones.

Introduction: Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV) are rare congenital anomalies of the male urinary tract that can lead to urethral obstruction and increased risk of kidney disease. Traditional diagnosis relies on subjective interpretation of imaging techniques. This study aimed to automate and increase accuracy of PUV detection in voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) images using an AI-based pipeline.
