Summary:What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? This is a review of urethral diverticula in females. In addition to modes of presentation, differential diagnosis, complications and surgical management, the increasingly recognised value of computerised axial imaging, especially with MRI, is highlighted. Urethral diverticula are rare but under‐diagnosed entities that may cause a variety of urinary and pelvic symptoms in women. They are best demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging and micturating cysto‐urethrography prior to transvaginal surgical excision. Although unlikely, the possibility of malignant transformation should not be forgotten.
