Abstract

This report reviews multichambered bladder conditions, offers a workable classification of them, presents a detailed case report, and discusses the possible causes of these anomalies. We wish to stress the importance of careful examination of the genital area in the newborn and early roentgenologic evaluation of the genito-urinary system when an anomaly is found.

Megalourethra and urethral diverticula.

Megalourethra and urethral diverticula encompass a diverse group of congenital and acquired urethral defects. The appropriate management of these anomalies relies on a keen appreciation of phallic anatomy and an understanding of urethral embryology. A thorough history and physical examination--including a careful evaluation of the urinary tract--is necessary to identify associated congenital anomalies. Finally, satisfactory surgical management demands meticulous attention to surgical technique.

Acute urinary retention in a child caused by a congenital bladder diverticulum.

Acute urinary retention is an uncommon diagnosis in childhood, and is associated with a variety of causes. Congenital bladder diverticula, occurring almost exclusively in boys, is not a rare entity. However, acute urinary retention is an extremely rare complication of congenital bladder diverticulum. A boy with acute urinary retention caused by obstructing bladder diverticula is presented, and the surgical approach is discussed.
