Clinical Contribution for Female Suburethral Diverticulum: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Background: Female urethral diverticulum (UD) is a rare entity that deserves early diagnosis to avoid the morbidity and, above all, complications associated with surgery. It is essential to think about it when faced with recurrent urinary disorders. Clinical examination can establish the diagnosis of diverticulum in 66% to 90% of cases. Case Presentation: We present a case of urethral diverticulum in a 48-year-old woman who had been dysuric for 6 years, and discuss the role of clinical examination in the diagnosis, surgical management and associated complications. It was complex, proximal in location and long-standing. Its late clinical discovery was confirmed radiologically by MRI. Intravaginal surgery was chosen, with no complications or recurrences reported in the past year. Conclusion: The role of the clinic in the diagnosis of UD remains paramount, especially in cases of recurrent urinary disorders. It reduces the burden of morbidity associated with late management.
