    Congenital periureteral bladder diverticula can cause severe urinary obstruction in children. Surgical correction involving diverticulectomy and ureteral reimplantation is effective in resolving hydronephrosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Urogenital System Development
    • Congenital Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Congenital periureteral bladder diverticula are rare anomalies.
    • These can lead to significant upper urinary tract obstruction.
    • Urinary tract infections are a common presenting symptom.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric cases presented with congenital periureteral bladder diverticula.
    • Patients exhibited severe hydronephrosis and ureteral obstruction without vesicoureteral reflux or bladder outflow obstruction.
    • Urinary tract infection was the initial clinical manifestation.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention, including diverticulectomy and ureteral reimplantation, successfully treated the obstruction.
    • Proposed mechanisms for obstruction include diverticular compression, peridiverticulitis-induced fibrosis, or intrinsic ureterovesical junction dysfunction.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for preventing renal damage.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology aids in tailored treatment strategies.
    • This condition highlights the importance of investigating upper tract changes in pediatric UTIs.
