Abstract
A significant proportion of PUV becomes symptomatic after the perinatal period. Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) often fails to identify PUVs. This study evaluates the relationship between the radiological appearance of the posterior urethra, potential secondary radiological signs and endoscopically documented PUV in boys with febrile UTIs, VUR, refractory symptoms of bladder overactivity or suggestive sonography findings.Keywords
