Abstract

Menkes disease (MD) is an X-linked copper metabolism disorder associated with bladder diverticula (BD). BD in MD may easily perforate more than common BD because of connective tissue damage. Since BD rupture can be fatal, large or multiple BD in MD require careful management, including prophylactic resection.

Keywords: Menkes disease; bladder diverticulum; copper metabolism; rupture; shock.
