Abstrakt: Urinary Ascites in the newborn is a very rare condition. It is commonly secondary to posterior urethral valves (PUV) which are membranous folds extending from proximal urethra leading to obstruction to urine flow. Here we report a two days old male neonate delivered full term in a hospital who presented with gross, uniform tense distension of abdomen with massive scrotal oedema, secondary to massive urinary ascites as a result of rupture of renal calyces. In addition there was a peri-renal urinoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
