A ring-shaped stone in a female urethral diverticulum: case report and review of literature

Han-Ching Lin et al. Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct. 2008 Sep.

Abstract

The classic presentation of urethra diverticula has been described historically as the "3 Ds," meaning dysuria, dyspareunia, and dribbling. As the symptoms are not specific, urethral diverticulum may often be misdiagnosed. We report a case of a ring-shaped stone in a female urethral diverticulum, which was successfully treated surgically.
