Abstract

Inguinal bladder herniation is a commonly seen clinical entity which represents 1–4% of all inguinal hernias. However, the extensive inguinoscrotal herniation of the bladder, known as scrotal cystocele, is very rare. Clinical findings can vary from asymptomatic findings to surgical emergencies. Radiographic imaging can play important role in the diagnosis to reduce the risk of bladder injury during hernia repair when urinary symptoms are present. Computed Tomography scan is a gold standart to identify the hernia sac. Computed tomography findings observed in axial planes, should also be carefully evaluted in other planes. Sagittal or coronal images may provide better evaluation of the hernia and its relationships with surrounding tissues. The standard treatment of inguinal bladder hernaiation is either reduction or resection of the herniated bladder followed by hernia repair. This case describes a systematic approach and role of computed tomography in the diagnosis of inguinal bladder hernaiation.

Abstract

Mesane herniasyonu, tüm kasık fıtıklarının %1-4'ünü oluşturan, sık görülen bir klinik tablodur ancak skrotal sistosel olarak da adlandırılan formu olan mesanenin yaygın inguinoskrotal herniasyonu çok nadirdir. Klinik gösteren olgularda ise semptomlar fıtığın boyutuna ve içeriğine bağlıdır. Klinik bulgular asemptomatik bulgulardan cerrahi acil durumlara kadar değişkenlik gösterebilir. Radyografik görüntüleme yöntemleri, idrar semptomları mevcut olduğunda fıtık onarımı sırasında mesane yaralanması riskini azaltmak için tanıda önemli rol oynayabilir. Bilgisayarlı Tomografi taraması fıtık kesesini ve içeriğini tanımlamak için altın standarttır. Aksiyal planlarda gözlenen tomografi bulguları diğer planlarda da dikkatle değerlendirilmelidir. Sagittal veya koronal görüntüler fıtık kesesinin çevre dokularla ilişkilerinin daha iyi değerlendirilmesini sağlayabilir. Masif herniasyonlarda fıtık kesesinin ve içeriğinin belirlenmesi için bilgisayarlı tomografi çekilmesi yeterli olacaktır. Mesane herniasyonunun standart tedavisi, hernileşen mesanenin redüksiyonu veya rezeksiyon ve ardından herni onarımıdır. Bu vakada MH tanısında sistematik bir yaklaşım ve bilgisayarlı tomografinin rolü anlatılmaktadır.
