title: Large bladder diverticulum presenting as an inguinal hernia.
abstract: We present the case of a 76-year-old man with a large bladder diverticulum presenting as an inguinal hernia with small bowel incarceration. Bladder herniation is extremely rare and when clinically suspected, computed tomography can be an important adjunct to diagnosis.
