Technical note: Dynamic MRI in a complicated giant posterior urethral diverticulum

Indian J Radiol Imaging. 2010 Nov;20(4):300-3. doi: 10.4103/0971-3026.73536.

Abstract

Congenital posterior urethral diverticulum is an uncommon anomaly, sometimes complicated by infection or calculi formation. A conventional voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is the most commonly used diagnostic modality. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been frequently described in this entity. We describe a case of posterior urethral diverticulum complicated with secondary calculi, where the patient was evaluated using dynamic MRI and conventional VCUG.

Keywords: Dynamic MRI; posterior urethral diverticulum; voiding cystourethrogram.
