Spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture of bladder with spontaneous healing

Clin Imaging. 1992 Oct-Dec;16(4):247-9. doi: 10.1016/0899-7071(92)90006-u.

Abstract

A case of spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture that was spontaneously healed in a one-year-old girl is reported. The subsequent drainage of the contrast medium in the peritoneal cavity via the urethral catheter after retrograde cystography implies that such a rupture may be successfully treated by a urethral bladder drainage and antibiotics.
