GARCIA-SAUCEDO, Jesús et al. Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder. Report of a case and the importance of making an accurate and timely diagnosis. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.1, e07. Epub 20-Jun-2022. ISSN 2007-4085. https://doi.org/10.48193/revistamexicanadeurologa.v82i1.690.
Description of the clinical case:
A 59-year-old male with a history of lower urinary obstructive symptoms presented to the emergency department with a clinical picture of acute abdomen and hematuria of 10 days of evolution. Spontaneous bladder rupture associated with a complication of bladder diverticulum rupture was diagnosed.
Relevance:
Spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare condition that can be fatal. In general, this pathology presents with non-specific symptoms, so it is necessary to think about the diagnosis. The case of spontaneous bladder rupture is presented and how the diagnosis was reached, for timely treatment.
Clinical implications:
In a patient with a clinical picture of acute abdomen, nitrogen elevation and hematuria in the context of a history of bladder emptying problems, it is important to consider the diagnosis of spontaneous bladder rupture.
Conclusions:
Spontaneous rupture of a bladder diverticulum is a very rare entity that presents with nonspecific clinical symptoms and signs. Suspicion should be high when assessing a patient with an acute abdomen, elevated creatinine, and hematuria.
