[Paraurethral cyst and/or urethral diverticulum--differential diagnosis].

From 2003 to 2006 we examined and treated 73 females with paraurethral lesions. The differential diagnosis was made using gynecological and US examinations, urethral profilometry, miction cystourethrography, high-pressure urethrography, MR imaging. All the patients have undergone extirpation of paraurethral cyst/diverticulectomy. The diagnosis of paraurethral lesions should be made with application of all available methods. Gynecological examination is the first procedure in complex diagnostic investigation, ultrasound must be also used in all the patients with addition of x-ray in case of insufficient data. MR imaging is used in large size of paraurethral lesions, their connection with urethra. Treatment of such patients is surgical.
