Abstract
A case of urinoma with posterior urethral valves and its management is presented. Diagnostic investigations and therapy strategies are discussed. Though rare, this possibility should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neonates presenting with rapidly expanding cystic masses in the abdomen. Early diagnosis and management are the most important prognostic factors that ensure a good outcome in such cases.
