Patient Data
Axial and coronal reconstructed images of non contrast CT of abdomen show presence of multiple high attenuation non obstructive calculi (Avg HU - 1150 to 1200HU) in bilateral kidneys.
Urinary bladder is minimally distended with bulb of foley's catheter noted in situ. Few (2-3) vesical calculi are noted within.
Herniation of antero-inferior part of the urinary bladder on the left side is seen through the left inguinal canal into the left sided scrotal sac with presence of 2 well defined calculi within the herniated bladder pouch.
