A case of 50 years old female with a urethral diverticulum is presented. The diagnosis was delayed for many years, it was successfully treated by performing transvaginal diverticulectomy.
An extremely rare association of anterior and posterior urethral valves in the same patient is reported.
BACKGROUND: Despite an incidence of 3-40% in different populations, a diagnosis of urethral diverticulum in female patients is often delayed or missed. CASE: A 49-year-old multiparous woman presented complaining of severe, refractory urinary urgency and frequency and urge incontinence, in addition to dysuria and pelvic pain for several years. The diagnosis of an anterior urethral diverticulum was made based on findings at magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical management was accomplished vaginally without significant urethral disruption. At 5 months postoperatively, the patient was markedly improved. CONCLUSION: Lower urinary tract pathology can create a diagnostic and surgical dilemma, which necessitates a thorough evaluation and careful management to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
