ANOMALY OF THE VERUMONTANUM CAUSING URETHRAL OBSTRUCTION

Abstract

A 38 year-old physician complaining difficulty of urination was found to have enlarged verumontanum at the proximal part of membranous urethra by using voiding cystourethrogram, retrograde urethrogram and endoscopic examinations.
Transurethral verumontanum resection improved his obstructive symptoms as well as urinary flow rate.
We are unable to find any report of malpositioned verumontanum located at the membranous urethra causing obstructive symptoms, although there are several papers which describe verumontanum causing bladder-neck obstruction.
