A pantaloon hernia occurs when an indirect and direct hernia develop at the same time. The urinary bladder is a rare component of pantaloon hernias. There is a lack of literature regarding an ipsilateral pantaloon with a herniated urinary bladder. Clinically, it has a vague presentation associated with abdominal pain and urinary retention symptoms. The best diagnostic modality is an abdominal CT scan. Surgery is the treatment of choice, rendering a good prognosis. Untreated bladder hernia may lead to strangulation and necrosis of the urinary bladder. We present a rare case of a right-sided pantaloon hernia with a bladder herniation in a 65-year-old man.
