title: Female wide urethra masquerading as a urethral diverticulum in association with ectopic ureterocele.
abstract: A rare case of wide urethra in a female infant mimicking as a urethral diverticulum in association with ectopic ureterocele is reported. The ureterocele terminated just below the bladder neck, but the diverticulum-like structure everted from the wide urethra, protruding towards the ureterocele. Weakness of the urethral wall, distal to the actual ureterocele may produce such an abnormal radiologic finding. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
