Q64.6: Congenital diverticulum of bladder

Due to a congenital defect there is an extra cavity in the bladder wall.

The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out.

While developing in the womb, many different types of tissue develop in the body. The organs and body parts develop out of the various types of tissue. If tissue does not develop properly in the womb, defects can result.

The bladder wall is protruding outward in one location. This can cause an additional cavity to form, with urine. The additional cavity in the bladder may not cause any problems. But the bladder can also become more susceptible to pathogens. Bladder stones may also form more easily.
