Abstract

Purpose

We report our experience with transvaginal sonography (TVUS) in the diagnosis of female urethral diverticulum (UD).

Method

We reviewed the TVUS examinations of 4 patients with a clinical diagnosis of UD and correlated the sonographic findings with the operative findings, especially regarding the UD's size, content, and location.

Results

All UDs were demonstrated on TVUS. The size, content, and location of the UD correlated well with the operative findings.

Conclusion

TVUS is accurate in diagnosis and determination of the size, content, and location of female UD. Β© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2009
