ABSTRACT
Urethral stricture is a relatively common disease in male causing lower urinary tract symptoms. In most practice, fluoroscopy is the standard imaging technique to assess urethral stricture. However, it is not available at our local hospital. We present a case of 72-year-old male patient who reported hematuria after suffering a straddle injury. A one shot x-ray non fluoroscopy contrast injection urethrography was found partial stricture of the bulbous urethra. The patient was performed urethroplasty. Three months after operation, the patient has been able to void spontaneously. One shot x-ray non fluoroscopy contrast injection urethrography revealed remarkable widening and no contrast extravasation was apparent. It can be concluded that one shot x-ray non fluoroscopy contrast injection urethrography is a useful modality for diagnosis urethral stricture. The advantages of this examination are that it uses fewer staff and minimal radiation exposure. Meanwhile the disadvantages are the lack of accuracy and are operator dependent.
