Posterior urethral valves (PUVs) in patients with Down syndrome (DS) have been previously described. However, no case of PUVs has been reported in an adult patient with DS. We report on a 40-year-old man with DS, who presented with two severe urinary infections and obstructive symptoms. He was found to have type 3 PUVs associated with bladder neck sclerosis. PUV resection and bladder neck incision were done. Because PUVs seem to be more frequent in patients with DS, complete investigations should be performed, even in adults with DS, in the case of urinary infection or lower urinary tract symptoms.

D004314 Down Syndrome A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra CHROMOSOME 21 or an effective TRISOMY for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include HYPOTONIA, short stature, BRACHYCEPHALY, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, single transverse palmar crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
