Abstract  The authors describe an extremely unusual case of a giant hemicranial subdural empyema occurring nine years after insertion of a venticuloperitoneal shunt. Though the empyema was evacuated, the child suffered significant morbidity and remained hemiparetic. The present case highlights the delayed morbidity following a ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion and the need of prolonged and regular follow up in children who have undergone this procedure.

Abstract  Anterior urethrall valves with associated urethral diverticulum is a rare but important cause of infravesical obstructive uropathy in children. This condition can be a cause of significant morbidity and can even lead to end-stage renal disease. This rare condition should be included in the differential diagnosis while evaluating male infants with infravesical obstructive uropathy. One recent case led us to review existing literature reports of anterior urethral valve and associated urethral diverticulum.
