  • Abstract
    Bladder diverticulum is an outpouching of the mucosa through the muscular wall of the bla­dder, which may be congenital or acquired. Bladder diverticulae in children and adults is reported to be approximately 1.7% and 1 to 6% respectively. [1] In adults, most often they occur as a result of outlet obstruction, frequently prostatic hypertrophy. Occasionally, when a diverticulum encompasses the ureteral orifice in the setting of a neurogenic bladder and vesico-ureteral reflux, it is termed a Hutch diverticulum.
