Abstract
Urethral and bladder anomalies are commonly found during routine evaluation for hematuria, urinary tract infections, and other urological conditions. Many of these conditions present with voiding dysfunctions which may not only confound the diagnosis but also affect therapeutic options. Urodynamics are used in order to better understand baseline voiding function in urethral and bladder anomalies, as well as to better counsel patients and plan surgical repair. Herein we discuss both urethral and bladder anomalies, with case reports and urodynamic evaluations for each of these conditions.
