“…Plusieurs études dépassant la dizaine de cas n'ont pas enregistré de cas féminin [10, 14, 17,18 19] , SHARFI [20] par contre rapporta deux cas féminins sur 36. La lithiase de l'urètre féminin est associée dans la majorité des cas à un diverticule [21,22] .

Introduction: Urethra is not a frequent localization of lithiasis. Many studies report clinical cases or limited series. The objective of this study was to show the frequency of this pathology in our practice. Patients and Methods: It was retrospective descriptive study of the patients treated for urethral lithiasis between June 1, 2012 and June 30, 2016 in our structure. Results: 106 cases of urethral lithiasis were diagnosed and treated. This localization accounted for 14, 54% of the urolithiasis and 3, 13% of urological intervention in the period. The mean age was 14, 24 years(1-68 years). The sex ratio was 7, 15 in men favor. The reason for consultation was acute urinary retention in 66, 98% of cases, the liathiasis was palpable in 83, 02% of cases. The treatment consisted of a cystolithotomy after discharge of the lithiasis in the bladder in 74, 53% of cases, instrumental extraction in 21, 70% of cases and the urethrolithotomy in 3, 77% (n=4) of cases. The urethra was permeable after ablation of lithiasis in all cases. Conclusion:The lithiasis impacted in the urethra is not rare in our practice. It must be evoked before acute urinary retention of children and adolescent.

“…26 Calculi Calculi can occur in association with urethral diverticulum or stricture, but rarely may occur de novo in the urethra, where they can cause pain and obstruction. In the case presented by Thomas et al, 27 the obstructing calculus was felt to have descended from the upper urinary tract based on it being composed of calcium oxalate.…”

Objectives: The female urethra may become involved by a variety of conditions, which may be challenging to providers who treat women. Mass-like urethral lesions need to be distinguished from other lesions arising from the anterior (ventral) vagina. Methods: A literature review was conducted. A Medline search was used, using the terms urethral neoplasms, urethral diseases, and female. Results: Reported lesions of the urethra were reviewed. Many of these lesions can be mistaken for each other clinically. Conclusions: A review of the scope of urethral lesions is presented to assist in developing a differential diagnosis if a patient with a urethral lesion is encountered. For practitioners who care for women, this will encourage communication and consultation where appropriate. ( J GYNECOL SURG 31:189)

“…Incarceration of the posterior or fundal leiomyoma beyond the pelvic brim can push the cervix against the pubic bone, resulting in compression of the bladder neck. Urologists must also keep in mind subpubic cartilaginous cyst [22], primary bladder neck obstruction [23] and urethral calculi [24] as possible causes of chronic urinary retention in women. Injuries are usually caused by falling astride a firm object, consensual coitus, sexual assault, cold waxing, and tight clothing [21].…”
