Abstract:
We report a 2 year-old boy with Menkes' kinky hair disease associated with a solitary huge bladder diverticulum. To our knowledge this is the first reported case treated successfully by surgical excision under general anesthesia, which has been previously considered hazardous due to the poor general condition of the patient.
