Abstract

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is well accepted study do detect vesicoureteral reflux and posterior urethral valves; however, there is no uniform approach to use this diagnostic procedure in cases of lower urinary tract symptoms. We present 2 different cases of 12 yr and 9 yr older boys with voiding dysfunction as a leading clinical symptom, in whom VCUG was used as one of diagnostic work-up studies. The results of cystography determined and helped for proper diagnosis and further treatment.
