Posterior urethral valves are a rare congenital disorder affecting the male urinary tract, characterized by abnormal membranous folds in the posterior urethra. This condition can lead to urinary tract obstruction, resulting in a spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from delayed voiding to severe urinary retention. This activity delves into the intricate anatomy, embryology, and pathophysiology of posterior urethral valves, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of this complex disorder. Furthermore, it outlines the current classification systems and discusses the evolving understanding of posterior urethral valves based on ongoing research and clinical observations.Clinicians managing patients with posterior urethral valves face unique challenges due to the rarity of the condition and its diverse clinical presentations. This activity comprehensively describes the diagnostic workup and management strategies tailored to address the specific needs of affected individuals. Moreover, this activity underscores the importance of a collaborative interprofessional approach in providing comprehensive care to patients, emphasizing the pivotal role of transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare services to ensure continuity of care and optimize long-term outcomes.
