INTRODUCTION Situs inversus viscerum, a congenital condition in which the visceral organs are a mirror image of their normal physiological positions, could be total or partial. Persistent descending mesocolon (PDM) is a congenital anomaly that is asymptomatic because of its short length. PDM causing intestinal obstruction is a known clinical complication. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 74-year-old wo...

INTRODUCTION Congenital anterior urethral diverticula in adult males are infrequent urological diseases, which they were mainly found in women. The etiology of female diverticula is that (Mohan et al. in J Urol 123(4):592-594, 1980) women have anatomically poorly supported urethral. Clinical presentation frequently involves urinary urgency, polyuria, postmicturition dribble, and hematuria. CA...

The high spatial resolution of cardiac computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) permit the diagnosis of congenital ventricular outpouchings (CVOs), including congenital ventricular diverticula (CVD), congenital ventricular aneurysms (CVA), clefts, and crypts. A unique classification has not been established, and these terms are used interchangeably with confounding terminol...

INTRODUCTION Urinary bladder diverticula are frequently resulting from obstructions. Our literature review did not reveal any cases of acquired urinary bladder diverticulum caused by long-term transurethral catheterization. CASE PRESENTATION We report a rare case of a nonobstructive big urinary bladder diverticulum developed after a long-term urethral catheterization in a 62-year old male dia...

Complex, proximal, anteriorly located urethral diverticula present the reconstructive urologist with a uniquely challenging task for repair through a conventional transvaginal approach. Herein, we present the first report of urethral diverticulectomy to excise a large, anterior, horseshoe-shaped urethral diverticulum that resulted in bladder outlet obstruction, using a transabdominal robot-assi...

Solitary diverticulitis of the cecum is a rare condition in the general population (0.17%) (1). In Western countries, diverticular disease occurs mainly in the left colon, with about 2% in the ascending colon (2). Approximately 80% are found on the anterior side of the cecum (3), and men around 40 years of age are predominantly affected. There are 2 types of diverticula: true diverticula, which...

Congenital anterior urethral diverticula are rarely found in children. We present the case of a 1-year-old male child with a congenital anterior urethral diverticulum. This condition can lead to obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms and urosepsis. The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of this rare condition are discussed in this report. The diagnosis was made using retrograde ...
