Abstract

Herniation of the urinary bladder into the inguinal canal is a rare entity. In children, protrusion of the lateral aspect of the bladder can be seen as an incidental finding which is normal for their age. These “bladder ears” are related to the size and position of the bladder in children and to the persistence of a large patent inguinal canal. Here we reported a 7-year- old girl with a bladder ear, who was referred to our hospital with a history of recurrent urinary infections and misdiagnosed as bladder diverticulum.
