Abstract: | PBNO although rare when missed may have the debilitating effect of obstructive uropathy in children. The gold standard for its diagnosis requires video urodynamics and electromyography (EMG) studies which are not available in nearly all hospitals in developing countries. We present a case demonstrating the usefulness of readily available imaging in diagnosis of PBNO as well as demonstrate effectiveness of alpha blockade in children. MCUG and cystoscopy should suffice in cases of suspected PBNO in neurologically normal children to inform trial of therapy in resource limited settings. |
