Inguinal bladder herniation

Herniation of the urinary bladder into the inguinal canal is a rare entity. It is reported to be present in 1–3% of all inguinal hernias (1). There is no finding that it is congenital, so it is accepted to be an acquired pathology (2). Bladder herniation is usually asymptomatic. Cinical findings include scrotal mass, difficulty in micturition, and fluctuation in the herniated mass during micturition (3).It is usually diagnosed incidentally or due to the symptoms of the urinary system (3). The preoperative diagnosis of bladder herniations is important to prevent the possible iatrogenic trauma that can occur during surgery. As it is true with our case, computed tomography (CT) outlines all the details of herniation. Although both cystography and CT will show bladder herniation, CT gives additional information on associated bowel involvement and hydronephrosis in a single study.
