Case report of pediatric anterior urethral diverticulum arising at the bulbar urethra

Abstract

Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum at the bulbar urethra is a rare entity. Accumulation of urine within the diverticulum causes obstruction to the free flow of urinary stream and resultant symptoms such as difficulty in micturition, dribbling of urine, and urinary tract infection. Correct recognition of this condition is important to initiate early surgical treatment. Micturating cystourethrogram and ultrasonography are imaging modalities of choice for identification and surgical planning of this entity.
