Case report of diabetic neurogenic bladder misdiagnosed as adnexal mass

Diabetic neurogenic bladder (DNB) is one of the most common complications of diabetes. In the present study, a case of a 66-year-old woman with diabetes for 8 years was reported. She was hospitalized due to the discovery of an adnexal mass, with no obvious symptoms. Ultrasound examinations showed the mass in the left accessory area. Moreover, abdominal CT and retrograde urography results confirmed that the adnexal mass was an enlarged bladder. A cystoscopy was then performed. There were multiple cases of diverticulum found in the bladder. An urodynamic study of the patient found that the detrusor muscle had poor contractility during urination. The patient was eventually diagnosed with DNB.
