Congenital bladder diverticula are rare in children. The Mickey Mouse bladder refers to a specific radiological sign that appears in bilateral paraureteral diverticula. We describe an 11-year-old boy presented with lower urinary symptoms. Imaging studies showed bilateral Hutch diverticula without vesicoureteral reflux. Urodynamic studies showed detrusor overactivity with bladder-sphincter dyssynergia. The patient was managed conservatively with clean intermittent catheterization and anticholinergic medication, and he had a significant clinical response without surgery. This case emphasizes the role of functional studies and supports conservative management in cases where bladder dysfunction is the major underlying problem.
