Abstract

Summary: A bladder perforation producing urine ascites in a child with posterior urethral valves is reported. The diagnosis of urine ascites was made at micturating cysto-urethrography, but the patient died shortly after the procedure. It is emphasised that this procedure should be carried out early in all neonates, especially males, with neonatal ascites as high mortality rates are reported in cases due to urine.
