Abstract
Since uroflowmetry and postvoiding residual (PVR) urine tests are noninvasive and relatively inexpensive, they are regarded as first-line screening tools for evaluating pediatric voiding function.1 The International Children’s Continence Society states that bellshaped uroflowmetry curves usually imply normal voiding function in children.2 Herein, we present a girl with voiding dysfunction who had a normal bell-shaped uroflowmetry curve because of abdominal straining.
