Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are an uncommon urologic congenital anomaly in males often discovered antenatally and more rarely after birth. PUV can lead to obstructive nephropathy and voiding dysfunction, putting patients at increased risk for irreversible renal damage and subsequent progression to end-stage renal disease. Much of the renal damage caused by PUV is proportional to the amount of time that the kidney has been experiencing retrograde pressure. Although much debate exists within the field, spontaneous decompression within the collecting system (e.g., “pop-off” valve) such as urinoma formation or spontaneous ascites has been found to relieve pressure on and thus protect the kidney, decreasing the risk of progression to advanced stages of chronic kidney disease. Despite the significant mass effect on the renal parenchyma, the pressure-relieving function of urinoma formation is a net protective factor allowing renal function to be preserved. We report a unique case of antenatal detection of PUV in a male with postnatal complicated urinoma formation secondary to forniceal rupture. Remarkably, despite significant external compression of the kidney and the development of urosepsis from infection of the urinoma with a multidrug-resistant organism that required percutaneous drainage, renal function was preserved throughout the disease course. After ablation of the PUV and drainage of the septic urinoma, the patient recovered rapidly after intervention and was ultimately discharged in stable condition.
