Abstrakt:	Objective: To present a case of a 16-year-old male patient with primary enuresis refractory to conservative treatment. Methods/results: Radiologic and urodynamic tests revealed posterior urethral valves that were treated by transurethral fulguration. The patient was cured of both enuresis and infravesical obstruction and remains disease-free 3 years after the operation with no impact on his sexual function. Conclusions: Posterior urethral valves are very rarely diagnosed in adolescents and adults. Very few cases have been published in the literature. To our knowledge, the case described herein is the first case presenting with persistent primary enuresis.
