Background:
Amongst the various causes of obstructive uropathies, pelviureteric junction obstruction, bilateral ureterovesical junction obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux are common. The association of posterior urethral valve and ureteric stricture has not been reported so far.
Case:
We report a rare case of fetal obstructive uropathy presenting as combination of ureteric stricture with posterior urethral valve and its consequences like cystic dysplastic kidneys and urinoma.
Conclusion:
Combination of urinary malformation may be due to basic primary pathology and its secondary consequence at a distant site.
