Abstract

Congenital bladder diverticulum usually occurs in areas where the muscle is inadequately formed, typically at the ureterovesical junction, or between bundles of hypertrophied muscle. Congenital bladder diverticulum might be missed in excretory urography, especially in case that primary symptom is not so severe to justify further invasive studies. Physicians should not neglect voiding symptoms in pediatric patients and should have high suspicion of congenital diseases. We report a case of rare congenital bladder diverticulum, misdiagosed as non-neurogenic neurogenic bladder, presenting as nocturnal enuresis, daytime frequency and post-voiding residual urine sensation without vesicoureteral reflux or outlet obstruction.
