Spontaneous Bladder Rupture with Delayed Diagnosis - A Challenge to Manage
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
ABSTRACT Spontaneous bladder rupture is defined as any rupture of urinary bladder in absence of external stimulus. It is a relatively rare phenomenon, with few cases reported in literature. Patients usually present with acute abdomen to emergency. However, being a rare cause, index of suspicion remains low for bladder rupture in absence of history of any trauma. This often leads to delayed diagnosis and systemic complications. Here, we present a case of spontaneous bladder rupture diagnosed and treated at our institute, to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and possible complications secondary to rupture.
