Bladder diverticula are herniations of the mucosa through the fibers of the bladder muscle connected by necks of variable amplitude. They are often asymptomatic, although they may lead to complications that require a surgical therapeutic approach. We report the case of a patient with bilateral obstructive uropathy secondary to a giant periureteral diverticulum that was treated by diverticulectomy and reimplantation of the left ureter in the bladder.

Bladder diverticula can be either congenital or acquired. They are the formation of a urothelial hernia through the muscle wall fibers of the bladder. Congenital bladder diverticula are rare and there are no previous reports showing them to have been found through an antenatal ultrasound exam revealing the presence of hydronephrosis. Here we describe the case of a large congenital bladder diverticulum revealed through an antenatal hydronephrosis diagnosis and whose proximity to the ureter led to its removal and a ureteral reimplantation.
