A ring-shaped stone in a female urethral diverticulum: case report and review of literature.
The classic presentation of urethra diverticula has been described historically as the "3 Ds," meaning dysuria, dyspareunia, and dribbling. As the symptoms are not specific, urethral diverticulum may often be misdiagnosed. We report a case of a ring-shaped stone in a female urethral diverticulum, which was successfully treated surgically.
