Case Study of the Month

An unusually empty bladder: Pitfalls of portable bladder sonography arising from a giant anterior sacral meningocoele

Portable bladder sonography is a commonly employed adjunct for the estimation of bladder volume in urological practice. Interpretation of results however, is not without problems. Difficulties arise from incorrect identification of the urinary bladder due to abnormal cystic pelvic masses. We describe an unusual case of a giant anterior sacral meningocoele mimicking a pathologically distended bladder on portable sonography.
