  Dear All,

  I could be miles apart from the diagnosis. At the first look of the VCUG, it can be labelled as PUV but is it?

  If you look at the films provided carefully there is a shadow in shadow. This associated with the mention of difficulty in catheterization make me think whether we are dealing with a posterior Urethral Diverticulum. No doubt difficulty to catheterize can be present with PUV also.

  Cystoscopic assessment will be able to differentiate the two on most occasions. But presence of folds as in PUV can also be observed in Posterior Urethral Diverticulum which could be the opening of the diverticulum.

  I am sure Anil will enlighten us further as I do not thinks Anil would have posted this case unless there was a twist in diagnosis.
