ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We documented the merit of endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting intraurethral wall diverticula in women. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We report on 3 women with a long-standing history of urinary frequency, urgency and voiding dysfunction who had been treated unsuccessfully for other etiologies.RESULTS:
MRI of the urethra revealed noncommunicating intraurethral wall diverticula, which were excised.CONCLUSIONS:
Urethral MRI should be considered in women with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to a suspected urethral pathology.
