3/4. Giant bladder diverticulum presenting with recurrent acute urinary retention--a rare event in adult patients: case report.Acquired giant bladder diverticula of obstructive genesis are not particularly unusual. On the other hand, acute urinary retention due to bladder diverticula is an extremely rare event in adult patients, since most cases are paediatric.

Diagnostic procedures including cystourethrography and cystoscopy revealed a giant bladder diverticulum causing ab extrinseco compression of the urethra.
