| Abstrakt: | Objective: To report the management for a urethral diverticulum presenting with pure stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Case Report: A 67-year-old postmenopausal woman resorted to urogynecological outpatient department for the treatment of bothersome SUI. She denied other lower urinary tract symptoms and previous pelvic surgeries. On examination, there was stage I anterior vaginal wall prolapse. Urinalysis showed negative findings. Urodynamic studies revealed negative findings. An ultrasound disclosed a complex paraurethral lesion and no urethral hypermobility. A magnetic resonance image of the pelvis revealed a 4-cm circumferential urethral diverticulum. A urethral diverticulectomy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of urethral diverticulum. The patient recovered uneventfully and reported freedom from SUI postoperatively. Conclusion: In women deemed uncomplicated stress urinary incontinence after undertaking a holistic urogynecological evaluation including detailed clinical history, physical examination, and urodynamic studies, further image studies investigating lower urinary tract is required for disclosing other rare conditions that necessitate different management from anti-incontinence surgery.
