Objective: The aim of this work is to present a case of traumatic bladder rupture in a patient with total uterine prolapse. Additionally, we provide a brief description of this issue.
Design: Case report.
Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 3rd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Královské Vinohrady University Hospital, Prague; Departement of Radiology, 3rd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Královské Vinohrady University Hospital, Prague.
Results: We present a case report of a patient with a total uterine prolapse that has been examined for a lower abdominal pain, hematuria and difficulties with urination. The problems arose suddenly after the fall on the ground. These symptoms are typical for bladder rupture, but other more frequent causes have to be ruled out. CT scan showed a contrast agent leak from the bladder. The patient was indicated for surgical revision and suture of the bladder wall.
Conclusion: Separately, rupture of the bladder occurs rarely. Most often, this injury is part of a wider trauma – especially after car crashes. However, our case report suggests that this option should be considered.
