Abstract
To prospectively assess the prevalence of paraurethral cystic structures in asymptomatic
adult women.
One hundred and forty consecutive women undergoing endovaginal
sonography with no history of lower urinary tract symptoms.
Paraurethral cystic structures were identified in 4/140 subjects (2.9%). Ultrasound
assessment allowed rapid definition of the site, size and vascularity of these lesions and was well
tolerated by the patient.
This is the first prospective ultrasound study to determine the prevalence of
paraurethral cystic structures in a large consecutive cohort of asymptomatic women. Our findings
are in accordance with previously published post-mortem data and surgical series which have
estimated the prevalence of paraurethral cystic structures to be between 1 and 6%.
