  • Title: [Urinothorax: rare complication of neonatal sectioned posterior urethral valve].
    Author: Gouli JC, Merrot T, Chaumoitre K, Faure A, Michel F, Alessandrini P.
    Journal: Prog Urol; 2011 Feb; 21(2):146-50. PubMed ID: 21296284.
    Abstract:
    We report a newborn aged 19 days, carrying a posterior urethral valve antenatal screening in which developed 7 days after the entire section of the valve, a compressive urinothorax in connection with a perirenal urinoma. Pleural and bladder drainage has a surrender of effusions and a healing of the renal parenchyma. The thoracic urine effusion is a very rare complication of a posterior urethral valve with perirenal urinoma. This probably results from a rupture of a fornix dysplastic by hypertension of the urinary tract. The authors emphasize the unusual discovery of this disease by breathing problems and his delayed character after resection of the obstruction in the neonatal period.
