Редкие наблюдения инородных тел мочевого пузыря у детей

Foreign bodies in the urinary bladder of children are rare occurrence. They usually enter the bladder via a retrograde route through the urethral canal, sometimes through the wall from the surrounding tissues and very rarely descend through the ureter from the kidney. A variety of foreign bodies have been found in the bladder, viz. a thermometer, pencil, pocket torch battery, gauze swabs, drainage tubes, surgical and sewing needles, rubber tips, catheters, etc. Rare foreign bodies were found in the urinary bladder of 4 children admitted to N.F. Filatov Children’s City Hospital between 2008 and 20013. Patient S aged 12 yr had a broom bristle, patient K with hypotonic bladder diverticulum aged 7 yr had a piece of rubber glove. Each of the two adolescents (14 and 12 years) had several foreign bodies in the bladder (36 and 19 magnetic balls respectively). These findings illustrate rare cases of foreign bodies in the urinary bladder of children and different variants of their removal.
