Abstract
Ureteric valves represent a very rare etiology of ureteral obstruction. We experienced an unusual case of bilateral distal ureteric valves that presented as bilateral primitive obstructed megaureters with anuria at the age of 40 days. To our knowledge, this is the second case of bilateral involvement of distal ureteric valves reported in the literature. Bilateral ureteral valves should be included in the differential diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction, as well as bilateral primitive obstructed megaureters in children. Excision and ureteral reimplantation is curative.
