Abstract
Urinary bladder diverticula are common and are frequently incidentally discovered. Many downstream complications can occur due to urinary stasis, such as bladder diverticular stones, infection, and malignancy. Understanding the physiology of bladder diverticula and potential pitfalls and mimics is critical to an accurate description of bladder diverticula and early detection of potential downstream complications. This pictorial review will first review the normal bladder histology and function, bladder diverticular types, and typical imaging features. The paper will then draw attention to technical pitfalls and potential mimics. Finally, we will review the downstream complications, including stones, infection, malignancy, and BCG-related changes.
期刊介绍:
Abdominal Radiology seeks to meet the professional needs of the abdominal radiologist by publishing clinically pertinent original, review and practice related articles on the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts and abdominal interventional and radiologic procedures. Case reports are generally not accepted unless they are the first report of a new disease or condition, or part of a special solicited section.
Reasons to Publish Your Article in Abdominal Radiology:
· Official journal of the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR)
· Published in Cooperation with:
European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR)
European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR)
Asian Society of Abdominal Radiology (ASAR)
· Efficient handling and Expeditious review
· Author feedback is provided in a mentoring style
