title: [Giant bladder diverticulum, inside inguinal hernia. Clinical case and review of the literature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of giant diverticulum of the bladder associated with inguinal hernia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An uncommon case of giant diverticulum associated with inguinal hernia is presented and the literature reviewed. The enormous size of the diverticulum and the associated lower urinary tract obstruction arising from hyperplasia of the prostate required resolution of both conditions. This was achieved by diverticulectomy with herniorrhaphy and TURP.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Diverticula of the bladder are associated with lower urinary tract obstruction that are generally caused by a prostatic condition. Hernia with bladder diverticulum is uncommon. The symptoms are usually scanty and cannot be distinguished from the voiding symptoms arising from prostatic involvement. Apart form the clinical findings, US, cystography or IVP are useful for diagnosis. Treatment is usually by surgical correction of both the bladder diverticulum and voiding obstruction from prostatic hyperplasia.
