Bladder diverticula develop from congenital detrusor muscle defect and frequently present with urinary tract infection, which occurs as a result of urinary stasis in the diverticula. Different clinical presentations, such as bladder outlet obstruction, cyanosis of the lower extremities, intestinal obstruction, ureteral obstruction (which may occur due to direct diverticular compression), and peritonitis due to spontaneous rupture of the diverticula, were reported previously. Here, we report a case with the diagnosis of bladder diverticulum that caused recurrent generalized peritonitis without perforation and mimicked perforated appendicitis.
