In total urethral diverticula in children represent a very rare urological disorder. Primary localisation is the dorsal side of the urethra, ventral located diverticula are extremely rare. We report on a ten year old girl with a ventral, urethral diverticulum presenting with the symptoms of persisting enuresis. The diverticulum was excised through a median laparatomy. Placement of suprapubic catheter facilitated adequate postoperative drainage and postoperative cystourethrography confirmed the absence of extravasation.
