[Transrectal echography in the diagnosis of cervico-urethral obstruction in the young].

The authors present a case of severe cervico-urethral obstruction by Von Brunn cysts. These cysts are often found even in macroscopically healthy bladders, but only rarely reach such a size as to be revealed by ultrasound. They can be asymptomatic or cause obstruction if large. They are no longer considered preneoplastic lesions and are therefore treated according to symptoms. When these cysts cause dysuria they are removed, preferably by transurethral resection, as it is the only method (unlike needle aspiration) which prevents recurrence.
