The posterior urethral valve (PUV) is the most frequent cause of end-stage renal disease in male children. The echographic appeals that may suspect this malformation are variable. We report the case of a 33 year old patient, without a specific antecedent. In whom the T1 ultrasound screening reveals an aspect of megavessy with renal dilation. The T2 ultrasound shows an enlarged bladder with a thickened wall. Both kidneys have a visible cortex, abnormal echostructure marked by bilateral ureter-pyelo-calicial dilatation. Amniotic fluid index is normal. The T3 Ultrasound reveals a persisting bilateral ureter-pyelo-calcicial dilatation and a large bladder with thick walls. The Delivery was natural at 37 SA + 5J and the development of the baby was normal.
