Abstract

Obstructed labor though being a well-known entity, cephalopelvic disproportion is the most common cause causing labor dystocia. Urethral diverticulum stone is a rare cause of obstructed labor. We report a case of urethral diverticulum stone obstructing the labor in a primigravida where cause of obstruction was confirmed by sonographic modality.
