Acute urinary retention caused by vesical diverticula.

E S Epstein, M J Siegel, C B Manley

    Urologic Radiology
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenital bladder diverticula can cause acute urinary retention in children, a rare but serious complication. Voiding cystourethrography is key for diagnosing this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Congenital bladder diverticula are rare anatomical anomalies.
    • Urinary retention is a critical condition requiring prompt diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric cases of acute urinary retention caused by obstructing bladder diverticula are presented.
    • The clinical presentation highlights a significant complication of a rare congenital anomaly.

    Findings:

    • Obstructing bladder diverticula can lead to acute urinary retention in children.
    • Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is an effective diagnostic tool for identifying this specific cause of urinary retention.

    Implications:

    • This case series emphasizes the importance of considering bladder diverticula in the differential diagnosis of pediatric urinary retention.
    • Early diagnosis through imaging like VCUG can prevent long-term renal complications.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of obstruction is crucial for appropriate surgical or conservative management.
