Incidental Finding of Urethral Diverticulum in a Woman with History of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections.
Аннотация
We present an incidental finding and management of a urethral diverticulum containing mixed composition of struvite and ammonium urate stones. Status post sleeve gastrectomy, patient presented to our bariatric clinic with epigastric pain associated with nausea and vomiting. A computed tomography scan was performed to rule out any complications of the procedure in which urethral stones were reported contained within a diverticulum. This finding, in retrospect, correlated with patient's past history of recurrent urinary tract infections. Over all, urethral diverticulum with struvite stones is a rare entity with few reported cases in literature thus a high index of suspicion is needed in patients with related symptoms. Here a case presentation and treatment rationale are described along with a brief review of existing literature.
