Cystic dilatation of bulbourethral gland ducts (Cowper's gland syringocele) is a rare abnormality. The condition has been described among pediatric populations, but it is uncommon in adults. It can be asymptomatic or present with obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms. We report a case of a symptomatic imperforate Cowper's syringocele in a young patient that was successfully managed with transurethral unroofing of the cyst.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes prostatic abscess (PA), focusing on its clinical features, imaging traits, treatment options, and outcomes based on 11 cases treated at a hospital from 2016 to 2022.
- Most patients were middle-aged with comorbidities like diabetes and experienced symptoms such as dysuria; imaging techniques like CT and MRI were essential for diagnosis.
- The findings suggest that while some patients improved with antibiotics alone, those who underwent surgery (transurethral PA unroofing) showed better outcomes, highlighting the need for surgical intervention in certain cases.
