Bladder contour abnormalities associated with normal mucosa

  • Chapter
Endoscopy

Abstract

The normal bladder may be irregular in contour (Chap. IV). The lateral recesses are sometimes deep, or the trigone may be elevated in one individual more than in others. When the bladder is incompletely distended, the folds of its wall in the fundus and dome are irregular in contour; these flatten out as the bladder is filled. During the latter months of pregnancy the dome and fundus protrude inward. These contour irregularities due to normal conditions may at times be more noticeable than those arising from abnormal ones.
