Labial fusion causing upper urinary tract obstruction

Urology. 1993 Aug;42(2):209-11. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(93)90650-y.

Abstract

An infant with dense and nearly complete labial fusion had marked hydroureteronephrosis which resolved after incision of the adherent labia. Although this is an unusual consequence of labial fusion, it argues for upper urinary tract screening in these children.
