Abstract:
Congenital bladder diverticula, unassociated with an obstruction or a neuropathic bladder, are unusual, occurring almost exclusively in boys. Most congenital bladder diverticula are silent, usually developing from a primary defect due to localized weakness in the detrusor. We report a case of congenital bladder diverticulum in a 5-year-old boy with a history of recurrent urinary tract infection.
