The smooth bladder base impression characteristically seen in men with prostatic hyperplasia may also be seen in women. Differential considerations include several unrelated etiologies:
- Asymmetry of the pubic symphysis: Most common cause
- Cystocele
- Urethral diverticulum
- Levator ani impression
- Postoperative change
- Female urethral syndrome
- Vaginal fibromyoma
- Ectopic ureterocele
- Intramural bladder neoplasm
