Pneumaturia is the passage of gas or "air" in urine. This may be seen or described as "bubbles in the urine".
A common cause of pneumaturia is colovesical fistula (communication between the colon and bladder). These may occur as a complication of diverticular disease. Pneumaturia can also happen if a urinary catheter was recently in the bladder.[ citation needed]
Other key differentials:[ citation needed]
Male scuba divers utilizing condom catheters or female divers using a She-p external catching device for their dry suits are also susceptible to pneumaturia. [1]
Diagnosis is made by patient history of passing air or a sputtering urine stream. CT scans may show air in the urinary bladder or bladder walls.[ citation needed]
