title: A 24-year-old patient with paraplegia and acquired urethral diverticulum: a case report.
abstract: Urethral diverticulum is a rare pathology in male patients. It is most often encountered in patients with paraplegia due to iterative catheterizations. The diagnosis of a large diverticulum is easy to make when faced with clinical symptoms, such as: repeated urinary tract infections, perineal pain and especially when there is penile swelling. We report the case of a 24-year-old patient with paraplegia and urethral diverticulum. In this case, the issue lies in the therapeutic possibilities.
