- Abstract
Female urethral diverticulum is a localized "sac-like" herniation between the periurethral fibromuscular layer and anterior vaginal wall, which is continuous with the lumen of the urethra. The patient underwent urethroscopy and cystoscopy, which demonstrated a large orifice in the posterior urethral wall, connecting the diverticulum cavity to the urethral canal (Figure 2). It was located in proximity to the urethra (marked between the two lines), and a hypoechoic connecting tract between the diverticulum and urethra was observed (arrowheads). gl Imaging methods for the diagnosis of urethral diverticulum include ultrasonography (transvaginal, transperineal and transrectal), voiding cystourethrography, computed-tomographic voiding urethrography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)2-4.
