Abstract:
Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in boys. Cobb's collar, a rare narrowing of the bulbar urethra, is one of the lesser-known causes of congenital urethral obstruction. We present a case of both congenital anomalies occurring concomitantly, in a preterm baby presenting with urinary ascites.
