title: [A congenital diverticulum of the bulbar urethra].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe an additional case of congenital bulbous urethra. The incidence, etiopathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are discussed.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 16-year-old male consulted at the emergency services for urinary retention and a perineal lesion. Patient evaluation included ultrasound, retrograde and voiding urethrocystography. Treatment was by open surgery.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient was evaluated at 3, 6 and 12 months. He remains asymptomatic and control urethrograms are normal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Open surgery is advocated as the treatment of choice for symptomatic diverticulum of a considerable size.
