Primary
obstructed megaureter is a common urological condition in the pediatric age
group. It is one of the differentials for congenital anomalies of the kidney
and urinary tract that include a myriad of structural anomalies of the urinary
tract.
The obstructive
conditions are usually managed conservatively unless there is
deterioration in renal function, repeated urinary tract infection, or any other
symptom such as abdominal pain on ipsilateral side and hypertension.
Presented here is
a case of left lower ureteral valve that was diagnosed as primary obstructed
megaureter with pain in abdomen and reduced ipsilateral renal function wherein
ureteral valve was detected incidentally intraoperatively.
