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.
