There are only a few reports of recurrent acute urinary retention caused by obstruction from congenital paraureteral diverticulum. We review the literature and present a case of a 14-month-old boy with bilateral hutch diverticuli who had his first episode of acute urinary retention in the neonatal period caused by left-sided diverticulum. We emphasised the fact that hutch diverticulum should be considered as one of the possible differential diagnoses in a child presenting with acute urinary retention.
