Female urethral diverticulum is often misdiagnosed. Improved clinical awareness and advanced imaging like MRI enhance diagnosis and management of this overlooked condition.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Female urethral diverticulum is a condition frequently overlooked and misdiagnosed.
  • Increased clinical awareness is crucial for timely diagnosis and effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the presentation, investigation, and management of female urethral diverticulum.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing and correctly diagnosing this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on female urethral diverticulum.
  • Discussion of diagnostic modalities including advanced imaging techniques.

Main Results:

  • Newer imaging like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) improves detection of urethral diverticula, including noncommunicating types.

  • Advanced imaging aids in characterizing diverticula, facilitating better preoperative planning.

    • Conclusions:

    • While advanced cross-sectional imaging (MRI, CT urethroscopy) offers superior tissue definition, standardization in investigation methods is lacking.
    • Widespread clinical awareness remains the most significant factor for improving the management of female urethral diverticulum.
