Abstract: | The existence of a vesical diverticulum in the context of a congenital connective tissue disorder such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome led us to consider the possibility of a relationship. Four types of diverticula can be found in the literature: congenital, acquired, iatrogenic and syndrome-associated. Within the later, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes type IV and IX, even type V, are associated to the existence of vesical diverticula. The potential spontaneous rupture of the diverticulum is a typical feature, as well as post-surgery relapse. The attitude towards such diverticula should be one of watchful waiting, and simple, plasty-free diverticulectomy on the bladder's neck is indicated when performing a surgical procedure. |
