Acquired Urethral Diverticulum In A Neonate- A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal Of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
ABSTRACT In infancy the urethral diverticulum is usually congenital. It’s also more common in females. The occurrence of acquired urethral diverticulum in males that too in infancy is a rare occurrence. Nonetheless its possibility should be kept in mind when dealing with patients presenting with signs and symptoms consistent with it especially if there is history of catheterisation. Here we present a case of acquired urethral diverticulum who presented with haematuria on D16 of life. Retrograde urethrogram showed fusiformdilatation of anterior urethra. Given the history of traumatic catheterization it was labelled as acquired urethral diverticulum. Baby was managed conservatively by suprapubic catheterisation due to presence of haemodynamic instability secondary to hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy.
