Non-traumatic bladder rupture. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Spontaneous bladder rupture, while rare, carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Here, we describe a case report of spontaneous bladder rupture in a patient initially presenting with foley malfunction. Despite foley replacement, the patient continued to endorse abdominal pain and clinically deteriorate, thus raising our suspicion for possible bladder rupture. Recognizing and understanding the different variations of spontaneous bladder rupture is paramount for timely appropriate intervention.
