Abstract
Bladder hernia is relatively rare (1 -4%), the diagnosis is often intra-operative. However, the Retrograde Cystography, the Excretory Urography, and the CT scan have proved their efficiency in diagnosis. We report the case of a 70-year-old patient with urogenital tuberculosis who had undergone bladder enlargement with enterocystoplasty. Currently the patient has a swelling in the folds of the groin, associated with disorders of the lower urinary tract. The CT scan confirmed the presence of a bilateral inguinal hernia, with bladder content in the left one.
