Abstract
- Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are diagnosed in approximately 3-6 per 1000 live births and represent a spectrum of urologic conditions impacting the kidneys, ureter, bladder, and urethra.1 Although both are considered under the classification of CAKUT, there is no known unifying pathophysiologic mechanism for ureteroceles and posterior urethral valves with only 1 case report noted in the literature. Herein we report the only documented case of a patient with CAKUT related to posterior urethral valves, ureterocele, and multicystic dysplastic kidney. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
