Abstract: Inguinal bladder herniation (IBH) is an uncommon case, observed in only 1-5 % of all inguinal hernias. Obesity, the elderly, gender, and previous operations are vigorous determinants for IBHs. Symptoms depend on the size of the hernia. We report a case of an obese male aged 40 presenting with a bulge increasing gradually in the right groin with a history of two-stage micturition (Mery's sign). With imaging-assisted diagnosis modalities (US, CT, and MRI), the patient was diagnosed with IBH. Although IBH is not common, it should always be suspected in patients with Mery's sign and predisposing factors.
