[Female urethral diverticulum with calculus formation imitating stress incontinence].

We report the case of a female UD containing multiple calculi, which were diagnosed during diagnostic work-up of incontinence. Based on this case report, we want to present and analyse the symptoms as well as the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of UD as reported in the literature. Also we wish to emphasise that the differential diagnosis between a complicated diverticulum and stress urinary incontinence requires a precise knowledge of the symptoms and the diagnostic algorithm for the detection of a DU because the symptoms of these two conditions are similar.
