AI Article Synopsis

  • Congenital bladder diverticulum is a rare condition mainly found in male children, as seen in an 8-year-old Japanese boy who presented with fever and gross hematuria.
  • After initial treatment with antibiotics and further investigation revealing ureteral dilation, he was referred for advanced diagnosis.
  • The boy underwent laparoscopic surgery, which successfully resolved his condition, and four years later, he experienced no recurrence of symptoms.

Article Abstract

Congenital bladder diverticulum is rare and is usually observed in male children. An 8-year-old Japanese boy was referred to a hospital with fever and gross hematuria and was treated with a course of antibiotics. Because the dilatation of the ureter was suspected by abdominal ultrasonographic examination, he was referred to our hospital. We diagnosed congenital bladder diverticulum by computed tomographic scan and carried out laparoscopic bladder diverticulectomy and extravesical ureteral reimplantation. Four years later, there was no recurrence of gross hematuria or urinary tract infection.

Introduction: Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder classically associated with multiple basal cell carcinomas, odontogenic keratocysts and skeletal anomalies. However, its significant phenotypic heterogeneity often delays the diagnosis. Here, we undertake the first comprehensive characterisation of NBCCS and congenital urinary tract anomalies.

Introduction: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a congenital condition marked by obstructing persistent urogenital membrane, leading to urinary tract infections, bladder dysfunction, and kidney damage. It affects males only, mostly suspected antenatally and confirmed in early infancy. It requires early diagnosis and intervention to prevent long-term complications.

Fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) encompasses a spectrum of rare congenital anomalies affecting the fetal urinary system, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This condition, arising from various anatomical anomalies such as posterior urethral valves (PUV), urethral atresia, and cloacal malformations, disrupts normal urine flow, resulting in secondary complications such as pulmonary hypoplasia and renal impairment. Current management strategies, including fetal vesicoamniotic shunting (VAS) and fetal cystoscopy, aim to alleviate obstruction and mitigate associated risks.

Bladder exstrophy-epispadias-cloacal exstrophy complex (BEEC) is a spectrum of congenital urologic anomalies that involve the bladder, urethra, genitalia, and pelvic musculoskeletal system, and can affect urinary continence, sexual health, and fertility. BEEC includes a wide spectrum of anatomical abnormalities with different levels of severity: epispadias represents the mildest phenotype, classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) is the most common defect, and cloacal exstrophy (CE) - often referred to as omphalocele, exstrophy, imperforate anus, and spinal defects (OEIS) complex - is the most severe form. BEEC disorders cause significant health problems and affect the health-related quality of life (QoL) of affected individuals.

Background: Open spinal dysraphism is a congenital malformation that causes major morbidity. Its consequences include sensory and motor impairment as well as bladder- and bowel dysfunction. It is often also associated with prenatal ventriculomegaly, which, in turn, necessitates postnatal treatment with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in approximately 80% of cases.
