[Incomplete sagittal septum of the bladder].
OBJECTIVE
To describe an additional case of incomplete sagittal septum of the bladder.


METHODS
A case of incomplete sagittal septum of the bladder in a young, asymptomatic patient with paralysis of both lower limbs is presented and literature is briefly reviewed.


RESULTS
The diagnosis was made by intravenous urography performed five years after the accident that had caused the paralysis. Radiological evaluation showed an "apple heart" bladder with reduced capacity. No treatment was required.


CONCLUSIONS
Incomplete sagittal septum of the bladder is rare. To our knowledge, only 7 cases have been previously reported. Incomplete sagittal septum is like complete septum, but both cavities communicate anteriorly or distally, according to the direction and depth the septum protrudes into the bladder.
