A bladder which is recognized by palpation as a smooth, rounded, firm, symmetrical tumescence extending upward above the pubes. It may be barely perceptible or, in the extreme case, extend to the umbilicus or even higher. It is often visible as a rounded prominence. The percussion note is dull; when enlargement is not sufficient to produce a palpable mass, it can sometimes be diagnosed by finding a circumscribed area of slight dullness above the symphysis.  2, record 1, English, - distended%20bladder
