ABSTRACT
Three cases of urinary ascites are presented, each with a different underlying aetiology. The age and modes of presentation also varied and management strategies were accordingly tailored to each patient's clinical requirements. All 3 patients survived and subsequently were discharged with good renal function. Although a rare condition, infants with urinary ascites can present as clinical emergencies in need of prompt resuscitation with subsequent drainage of the urine and decompression of the urinary tract. The ultimate management regime will vary and depend upon site of urinary extravasation and underlying aetiology.
