The literature reports only rare cases of urinary ascites, usually secondary to rupture of the bladder and not to renal calyx rupture. The present report describes an uncommon case of posterior urethral valve in a newborn with ascites caused by the rupture of a renal calyx that, to our knowledge, was diagnosed for the first time by ultrasonography.
