In this article, we aimed to discuss diagnosis and treatment of a urethral polyp causing hematuria and urinary infection in a 3-month-old male infant. This is the first case in the literature in which a urethral polyp is treated with Holmium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case Presentation:<\/jats:title>\n The patient was a 3-month-old male infant, and complains were hematuria and crying during micturition. Ultrasonography and voiding cystourethrogram were used for diagnosis. Urethral polyp was observed on urethrocystoscopy. Ablation was performed with a newborn cystoscope.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Urethral polyp can cause hematuria and urinary obstruction and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pathologies such as posterior urethral valve and cecoureterocele that could cause infravesical obstruction. Holmium-YAG laser is a good choice of treatment with easy application possibilities using a newborn cystoscope, especially for newborns and infants who have thin urethra.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/cren.2016.0037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,2]],"date-time":"2016-05-02T10:14:41Z","timestamp":1462184081000},"page":"90-92","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Posterior Urethral Polyp: First Holmium-YAG Laser Ablation on a 3-Month-Old Infant"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Fatih","family":"Ozkaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ercument","family":"Keskin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Erzincan University","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Turgut","family":"Yapanoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University Medical Faculty","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Senol","family":"Adanur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University Medical Faculty","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tevfik","family":"Ziypak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University Medical Faculty","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet Sefa","family":"Altay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University Medical Faculty","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y\u0131lmaz","family":"Aksoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ataturk University Medical Faculty","place":["Turkey"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"921","DOI":"10.1016\/S0090-4295(99)00265-4","article-title":"Urethral polyp presenting in a male infant with hematuria and urinary retention","volume":"54","author":"Walsh PJ","year":"1999","unstructured":"Walsh PJ, , Wiener JS.
