Inguinal hernia containing bladder
Updates to Case Attributes
Less commonly, inguinal hernias do involve bladder wall. In our case it was discovered incidentlyincidentally but it is important to identify the pathology as these are often associated with complications such as UTI, obstructive uropathy and bladder infarctions. In addition, these patients may have higher incidence of genitourinary cancers.
Commonest age group is 50-70 years.
Ultrasound or CT may be done initially to establish the diagnosis. Previously IVU or cystograms were also performed as part of the radiologic investigations.
