Demonstrate an effective visual learning method by utilizing simple graphics/diagrams with matching real-time case examples including fluoroscopy and ultrasound imaging findings of GU anomalies.

Review the categories of congenital GU anomalies including posterior urethral valves, urachal anomalies and inguinal hernia/hydrocele.

Review the embryology, clinical manifestations and management of these GU anomalies.

Urethral-ejaculatory duct reflux (UER) and seminal vesicle reflux (SVR) are rare phenomena that are poorly characterized in the pediatric population. Timely diagnosis and intervention may prevent potential complications including orchitis, epididymitis, and infertility. We present a case of an infant with ipsilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) who was incidentally found to have UER/SVR during voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), which we postulate resulted from posterior urethral valves (PUV). We highlight the similarities of UER/SVR with mimickers such as ecoptic ureter insertion and Zinner syndrome. We discuss sonographic techniques that can be used to differentiate these various entities. Read More
