Abstract
-
A vesical diverticulum is an abnormal pouch or sac lined with vesical mucosa protruding through the bladder wall. Most vesical diverticula are seen in elderly men in association with bladder outlet obstruction. Occasionally in children, primary or congenital vesical diverticulum is developed with no underlying disease, which produce many urologic problems. Herein we recently experienced one case of the congenital vesical diverticulum in 8-day-old male infant with hydronephrosis and dysuria.
