Abstract: | Symptomatic prostatic cysts presenting with recurrent urinary tract infections and urinary obstructive disorders in young men may be misdiagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stenosis or neuropathic bladder. We report a case of a 28 year old young man with obstructive and irritative voiding disorders caused by a prostatic cyst, located in the anterior and left lateral lobe of the prostate gland. The cyst appeared to obstruct the bladder outlet by a "ball-valve" mechanism. The prostatic cyst was incised and marsupialized by transurethral resection. At post-operative follow up we observed an increase in Qmax with no residual urine and negative urine culture. The patient showed no retrograde ejaculation nor erectile dysfunction. |
