An 11-year-old female consulted our department with complaints of urinary incontinence and pyuria. She had had a cloacal repair 7 years ago. The radiograph showed four stones in the pelvis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed two diverticula next to the urethra and several low intensity masses in one diverticulum were regarded as stones. Voiding cystourethrography showed normal urinary bladder co...

Primary adenocarcinoma of the urinary bladder is a rare neoplasm. It accounts for 1-2% of all bladder carcinomas and sometimes may be found in the bladder diverticula. Fistula between duodenum and renal pelvis is another rarity while colovesical fistula is not so uncommon. We present a case of a 40 years old man who had surgery for colovesical and duodenorenal fistula and subsequently developed...

BACKGROUND Thorny catfishes exhibit large variations in swim bladder morphology. These organs are of different sizes, forms and may have simple or branched diverticula. The swim bladder plays an important role in otophysans because it enhances their hearing sensitivity by transmitting sound pressure fluctuations via ossicles to the inner ear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To investigate if a...

Diverticula of the intestine may be divided into the true and the false. By a true diverticulum is understood one the walls of which are composed of the entire thickness of the intestine; the false diverticulum, on the other hand, is a hernia of the mucosa and submucosa through the muscular wall (yon Rokitansky (1), Leichtenstern (2), Birch-Hirschfeld (3), Orth (34), Itansemann (4), and others)...

Bladder diverticula are herniations of the mucosa through the fibers of the bladder muscle connected by necks of variable amplitude. They are often asymptomatic, although they may lead to complications that require a surgical therapeutic approach. We report the case of a patient with bilateral obstructive uropathy secondary to a giant periureteral diverticulum that was treated by diverticulecto...

introduction bladder diverticulum is a result of bladder mucosa and submucosa herniation through the muscularis propria of bladder wall. bladder diverticula are mostly seen in the elderly men in association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph). case presentation a 74-year-old man presented with complaints of vague epigastric discomfort, dyspepsia, and mild lower urinary tract symptoms. an ul...

USE OF MAUERMAYER STONE PUNCH TO TREAT POSTERIOR URETHRAL DIVERTICULA CALCULUS IN A PATIENT WITH MULTIPLE CONGENITAL ANOMALIES OF URINARY TRACT

OBJECTIVE To establish a grading system for bladder trabeculation. METHODS A total of 228 patients who underwent videourodynamic studies were retrospectively reviewed. All fluoroscopic images included were gathered and were classified into 4 grades of trabeculation according to maximum depth and portion of bladder surface occupied: 0 (none), 1 (mild, depth <5 mm and area <1/2 of bladder), 2 (...

OBJECTIVE Assessed the usefulness of virtual cystoscopy performed with multidetector computed tomography (CT) in patients with different urinary bladder pathologies compared to the conventional cystoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen patients with different bladder pathologies, which consisted of 11 tumors, 3 diverticula, 2 trabecular changes and 2 stones, were assessed with conventional c...
