Extraperitoneal Rupture of a Bladder Diverticulum and the Role of Multidetector Computed Tomography Cystography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nontraumatic rupture of the bladder is less widely recognized than traumatic rupture, with a challenging early diagnosis due to high variability in clinical presentations. We report a case of extraperitoneal rupture of a bladder diverticulum in a patient with diabetes mellitus who presented with paralytic ileus. Despite conservative management, the patient developed sepsis requiring surgical treatment. Urinary tract infection and bladder outlet obstruction were considered to be potential mechanisms of the rupture. Multidetector computed tomography cystography should be used as the first-line modality when evaluating for a suspected bladder rupture, even in patients with nontraumatic bladder rupture.

Delayed Presentation of Intravesical Bone Penetration after Pelvic Ring Fracture
Retrograde cystography and computed tomography (CT) are considered the gold standard for investigating bladder and pelvic bone injury. However, these methods can miss extraperitoneal bladder rupture caused by a penetrating bone fragment from a pelvic bone fracture. We experienced a routine conventional cystography and CT scan that failed to identify penetration of the bladder by a bone fragment...

We reviewed 55 cases with trauma to the urinary bladder. Blunt trauma was the cause of injury in 78 percent of cases and associated pelvic fracture was present in 75 percent. Eighty percent of extraperitoneal ruptures were associated with fracture of the pelvis. The most common cause of trauma was car accident (63%), followed by war injury (20%). Nearly two-thirds of patients (63 %) had ex...
متن کاملBladder Injuries: Evaluation and Management
Bladder rupture is rare and is often associated with other serious injuries and a high mortality rate. The preferred evaluation is by retrograde computed tomography (CT) cystogram to classify the injury as intra or extraperitoneal. Intraperitoneal injuries will always require open repair, while extraperitoneal injuries can be managed with catheter drainage alone in a majority of cases, with som...

Bladder rupture in patients undergoing renal transplant is rare. A 26-year-old man underwent a deceased-donor renal transplant. Postoperatively, he showed a good clinical course, but after removal of the urethral catheter, he complained of pain in the lower aspect of the abdomen and in the left flank. Findings of abdominal computed tomography and retrograde cystography revealed an extraperitone...
