French term

vessie de lutte

French to English Medical Medical (general)
From a CT scan report under the findings section, the French says "vessie de lutte diverticulaire" (no additional context).

I am having difficulty determining the appropriate wording in English. Compressive bladder caused by diverticulitis?

TIA.

Kristin Kamm (asker) Dec 29, 2017:
Thanks to all those who have posted. Based on the explanation in the Dictionnaire médical de l'Académie de Médecine and the lack of a direct corresponding term in English, I think I am going to use a more of a descriptive translation such as: hypertrophy of the bladder wall (even though that doesn't fully encompass all bladder changes)

Selected

hypertrophic bladder (secondary to outflow obstruction)

There does not seem to be a neat equivalent in English, so I would use a phrase which describes the bladder changes. Hypertrophy is the predominant change, which can be followed by further structural changes such as diverticulae (as in this case).
See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1537051/
Hypertonic is probably not the best summary term, since the bladder wall acrually loses tone at some point.

Retentional bladder wall changes

Structural changes which occur in the bladder wall just above a chronic obstacle (muscle hypertrophy thickening...)

I wonder here if 'vessie de lutte' means any changes due to obstruction (no matter the nature of the changes) or hypertrophy (specifically).
Peer comment(s):

neutral Sue Davis : I found this reference also, but I can't find much evidence for the use of 'retentional bladder' in English

Yes I know, this is the only reference I found with a translation for 'vessie de lutte'. That's why my confidence level is 'Medium'
