Congenital urethral diverticulum in a male infant. Report of a case and review of the literature

摘要

A case of congenital urethral diverticulum in a male infant was reported. The patient, 7-month-old boy, was admitted to our clinic with a chief complaint of urinary fistula at the scrotal region and urinary incontinence. Preoperative diagnosis was correctly made by urethrocystography, and the diverticulum was excised. Postoperative course was uneventful. Twenty-one similar cases were previously reported in our country and discussion was made on several aspects of the urethral diverticulum in male infant.
