“…A significant correlation was found between BMI and MBWT in his study. [1] Posterior wall thickness in our results and Uluocak's findings were the same; LBWT in our study was more than that reported in Uluocak's. More studies are required for documenting this finding.…”

“…BWT is increased during urinary tract infection (UTI), chemotherapy, urinary stones, and inflammation. [1234567] Internal changes in urinary bladder could be evaluated by cystoscopy or cystography, but as these tests are harmful because of their intervention or radiation, safer tests are needed such as transabdominal ultrasonography (US). US could be used as an accurate, safe, and non-interventional method.…”

Background:Normal bladder function is necessary for micturition. Many causes such as urinary tract infection, bladder outlet obstruction, and neuropathic bladder can influence bladder wall thickness (BWT). This study was designed to determine normal BWT in Iranian children.Materials and Methods:This was a cross-sectional study done in Isfahan in 2012 comprising 82 children aged 2-14 years without any urinary complaint. We measured thickness of posterior and lateral walls of the bladder in all children. Mean bladder wall thickness (MBWT) and mean bladder volume (BV) were also calculated.Results:In this study, we included 82 children (40 boys and 42 girls). Patients’ mean age was 6.43 ± 2.89 years, mean weight was 21.32 ± 8.40 kg, mean height was 111.57 ± 20.51 cm, and mean Body Mass Index was 17.12 ± 4.93. Mean lateral bladder wall thickness (LBWT) was 1.75 ± 0.32 mm and mean posterior bladder wall thickness (PBWT) was 1.59 ± 0.34 mm. Mean BV was 111.65 ± 72.11 ml and MBWT was 1.67 ± 0.28 mm. BVW all Index (BVWI) was 1249.05 ± 701.67.Conclusions:LBWT was1.75 ± 0.32 mm and PBWT was 1.59 ± 0.34 mm.

Transvaginal ultrasound measurement of bladder wall thickness: a more reliable approach than transperineal and transabdominal approaches

et al. 2010

three techniques and intraobserver reliability for transabdominal and transperineal methods. RESULTSIn all, 25 women were scanned. The transperineal US had a high interobserver mean difference when measuring the anterior BWT ( − 0.34) and a high intraobserver mean difference when measuring the anterior (0.54) and dome BWT (0.33). Transabdominal US had a high interobserver mean difference for all measurements of BWT, and a high intraobserver mean difference when measuring the trigonal thickness (0.56). Transvaginal US had a consistent interobserver mean difference for all three measurements. The transperineal and transabominal approaches had the widest intraobserver and interobserver 95% confidence intervals of the mean difference when compared with the transvaginal approach. CONCLUSIONSTransabdominal and transperineal US for measuring BWT did not have good intraobserver and interobserver reliability for measurement of the three anatomical sites to determine mean BWT. Transvaginal US had good interobserver reliability, thus mean BWT is best measured using the transvaginal approach.

“…In the study performed by Jequier et al (17), mean bladder wall thickness was found to be 1.55 mm and the upper limit of bladder wall thickness was considered to be 3 mm for a full bladder. In the study performed by Uluocak et al (18), mean thicknesses of the anterior, posterior and lateral walls were found to be 1.42 mm, 1.57 mm and 1.49 mm, respectively. A trabeculated and/or thick bladder wall on ultrasonography may be an indirect finding of an excessively active bladder.…”
