Giant anterior urethral diverticulum in a neonate.
Congenital anterior urethral diverticulum is an uncommon condition that tends to present in older children with signs of chronic urinary problems. A neonate presented following recurrent collapse, and cystography revealed a giant urethral diverticulum. The diverticulum was incised at cystoscopy, leading to a full recovery.
