Congenital bladder diverticula are rare urological anomalies characterized by herniation of bladder mucosa through muscular fibers of the bladder wall. We report an 11-year-old male from West-Shewa, Ethiopia, presented with obstructive urinary symptoms since early childhood. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large bladder diverticulum and crossed fused renal ectopia. A voiding cystourethrogram confirmed the diverticulum without vesicoureteral reflux. The patient underwent transvesical diverticulectomy. Subsequent Follow-up showed complete resolution of urinary symptoms, and postoperative ultrasound revealed no upper tract dilatation or residual disease. In conclusion, Congenital bladder diverticula are a rare cause of obstructive urinary symptoms and rarely coexist with renal anomalies.
先天性膀胱憩室是一种罕见的泌尿系统异常,其特征是膀胱黏膜通过膀胱壁的肌纤维疝出。我们报告一例来自埃塞俄比亚西谢瓦的11岁男性,自幼年起就出现梗阻性排尿症状。腹部超声显示一个大的膀胱憩室和交叉融合肾异位。排尿性膀胱尿道造影证实了憩室且无膀胱输尿管反流。该患者接受了经膀胱憩室切除术。随后的随访显示排尿症状完全缓解,术后超声显示上尿路无扩张或残留病变。总之,先天性膀胱憩室是梗阻性排尿症状的罕见原因,很少与肾脏异常并存。
