Stress urinary incontinence as the presenting symptom of primary male urethral diverticulum—A case report and literature review

Primary male urethral diverticulum is quite uncommon. It is even more unusual for urinary incontinence to be a presenting symptom of primary male urethral diverticulum. Herein, we report on a 32‐year‐old male presenting with urine leakage on coughing or abdominal strain beginning from his early twenties. A congenital type bulbar urethral diverticulum is diagnosed by voiding cystourethrography and cystourethroscopy. Endoscopic unroofing of the diverticulum freed the patient from stress urinary incontinence after the surgery. Neurourol. Urodynam. 26:271–273, 2007. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
