Ureteral pseudodiverticulosis: the case for the retrograde urogram

Urology. 1996 Jun;47(6):924-7. doi: 10.1016/S0090-4295(96)00055-6.

Abstract

Ureteral pseudodiverticula are small outpouchings along the length of the ureter diagnosed primarily by the retrograde urogram. They are associated with hematuria and urinary tract infections, although it is now known whether they cause these associated symptoms or are a result of them. Herein we report 2 cases that highlight the characteristic clinical correlates of ureteral pseudodiverticulosis and review the pertinent literature.
