Abstract

We report two cases of acute urinary retention in women with urethral diverticulum. Cystoscopy were performed all patients. But diverticular opening was not found. All patients failed voiding by a bladder outlet obstruction. In one case, bladder outlet obstructive symptom resolved completely after the surgical removal of the diverticulum. In another case, patient refused operation.
