"Most patients present with a complaint of diffuse pelvic pain, tenderness, distension, dysuria, haematuria, difficulty voiding, renal failure, urinary ascites, and sepsis 3. The diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion 4."
"In the case of intraperitoneal rupture, CT of the abdomen/pelvis and CT cystogram usually shows the free fluid in the peritoneum, a defect/rupture in an enhancing bladder wall, and abnormal location of a Foley catheter 1. In addition, identifying the contrast medium outside the limits of the bladder in the peritoneum and between the intestinal loops confirms diagnosis 1. In extraperitoneal rupture, the contrast extravasation is around the bladder - in the perivesical space - and occasionally, it extends beyond the perivesical space to the thigh, scrotum and perineum 1."
"In 1929, Sisk and Wear were the first to use the term spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder 4."
