summary

Bladder diverticula are quite commonly diagnosed in children. Numerous cases are congenital (primary) diverticula, not associated with neurogenic dysfunction of the bladder or bladder outlet obstruction. Urinary tract infection and urinary retention are the most frequently found complications.

Rare case of great size and almost asymptomatic congenital bladder diverticulum is reported. An infant underwent surgery with intra-and extravesical diverticulectomy and ureteral reimplantation. After surgery a child did not have recurrence and remained asymptomatic.
