Abstract:
The vesicourachal diverticulum in association with other urological anomalies is a rare condition. It is easily demonstrated by ultrasound examination. We report a rare case of vesicourachal diverticulum in association with a large posterior bladder diverticulum; the latter obstructing the trigone of the bladder, and with the ureter of a right solitary ectopic and hydronephrotic kidney draining into it. Diagnosis was initially made by ultrasound and later confirmed by cystography. A CT examination was also supplementary. The literature on vesicourachal diverticulum is briefly reviewed.
