We present a neonate with an obstructing anterior urethral valve depicted by longitudinal transpenile ultrasound. Voiding images are recommended to identify the obstructing valve tissue. Ultrasound depiction of the anterior urethral valve tissue is identical to that seen in posterior urethral valves.
