J Pediatr Surg. 2005 Aug;40(8):1332-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2005.05.035.

Abstract

Anorectal malformations are frequently associated with urinary tract abnormalities, which generally consist of vesicoureteral reflux, renal agenesis, and bladder dysfunction. Posterior urethral valves associated with anorectal malformations are exceedingly rare. We report the third case described in literature and the unique management.
