CONCLUSIONS

Congenital urethral diverticulum is an uncommon finding that usually requires treatment only if it is large or causes important symptoms. The patient described herein had a small urethral diverticulum that did not require treatment. However, the dome of the diverticulum was ruptured during urethrocystoscopy, thus facilitating drainage.
