Abstract
We report on 4 boys with abnormally functioning, poorly compliant bladders and residual urine associated with posterior urethral valves. All 4 boys have been managed with clean intermittent self-catheterization and have shown stabilization or improvement in renal function, and improvement in upper tract drainage and urinary continence. The pathophysiological findings of this type of bladder dysfunction are discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
