ABSTRACT

Vesical hernia involves the passage of part of the bladder through a hernial orifice. Despite the high incidence of inguinal hernial pathology in the general population, it is estimated that the bladder is involved in only 1-3% of inguinal hernias. It is a pathology which more frequently affects men (70%) from the fifth decade of life. We present the case of a male patient, age 80 years, with history of stage IV prostatic hyperplasia with diagnosis of right inguinoscrotal hernia, who reported needing to apply manual compression to urinate and alleviate urgency (Mery sign). Herniation of the bladder was confirmed by ultrasound and computed tomography.
