Extremely Rare Localization of Bladder Stone: Scrotal Bladder Hernia

Abstract

Inguinoscrotal bladder hernia is rarely encountered relative to the common occurrence of inguinal hernia. Most patients are asymptomatic and diagnosed perioperatively; however, lower urinary tract symptoms along with swelling in the inguinal region and two-stage urination may suggest herniated bladder. Co-occurrence of inguinoscrotal bladder hernia and herniated bladder stone is extremely rare, and there is no consensus on its treatment. Herein, we will present the case of an 81-year-old male patient with an inguinoscrotal bladder hernia and herniated bladder stone. To our knowledge, this is the seventh case reported in the literature thus far.
