    AbstractBladder inguinal hernias are infrequently encountered in clinical practice. When present, the patient's main concern may be urinary difficulties such as retention. Careful history and physical examination will reveal the diagnosis in most cases, however, advanced imaging may be required. Emergent surgical consultation is required and urological consultation may be needed for preoperative planning and assistance. We present a case of a patient with almost complete herniation of bladder into left inguinal canal into the left hemiscrotum.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
