title: [Diagnostic guidelines in female ureteral diverticulum].
abstract: A case of diverticulum of the female urethra is presented which was successfully treated surgically. The diagnostic methods used are described, highlighting the usefulness of ultrasound in making the topographic diagnosis. Furthermore, because it is a non-invasive imaging technique, it can be used in screening the cases. Performing positive pressure urethrography is advocated. If the catheter for this purpose is unavailable, a substitute can be easily assembled.
