The diagnosis of female urethral diverticulum is difficult due to its nonspecific symptoms, and invasive diagnostic procedures are often necessary. We report a case in which the diagnosis was made with contrast‐enhanced transvaginal sonourethrography. The microbubble contrast agent could be seen filling the diverticular cavity via its opening. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2011;
