Urethral diverticulum (UD) is defined as a tubular or sacular dilatation that opens into the urethra [1]. It is rare in men and can be congenital or acquired [2]. Its clinical symptomatology is non-specific. Urethro-cystoscopy or urethro-cystography retrograde and voiding make it possible to establish its diagnosis. We present a case of a DU manifested by urinary incontinence in a patient with ...

Background: Urethral caruncles are benign lesions of the distal urethra which have been most commonly described in post-menopausal women. Over the years, urethral caruncles had been described in women. However, in 2012, Karthikeyan and associates [1] reported a urethral caruncle in a male. Urethral caruncles resemble a variety of urethral lesions including: urethral carcinoma; urethral divertic...

A 16-year-old boy presented with gradually increasing painless swelling between the testes. He had undergone a 2-stage Denis-Browne repair of congenital proximal hypospadias, second stage performed at the age of 8 years. On examination, a hard lump was felt between the testes. Radiography of the pelvis showed a faint oval radiopaque shadow in the scrotal region. Cystoscopy revealed a small open...

Giant vesico-prostatic urethral calculus is uncommon. Urethral stones rarely form primarily in the urethra, and they are usually associated with urethral strictures, posterior urethral valve or diverticula. We report a case of a 32-year-old man with giant vesico-prostatic (collar-stud) urethral stone presenting with sepsis and bladder outlet obstruction. The clinical presentation, management, a...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical usefulness of preoperative CT voiding cystourethrography (CT-VCUG) using 16-multidetector computed tomography for female urethral diverticula. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative CT-VCUG was performed in 15 consecutive patients who underwent urethral diverticulectomy from May 2004 to December 2012. The result of preoperative cystourethroscopy and surgical findi...
