Abstract
Introduction. Bladder injury is one of the most common injuries to the genitourinary tract. Bladder injury is rarely isolated and can often go undetected for long periods of time in combined trauma, due to the greater attention paid to pathologies that lead to the development of life-threatening conditions.
The aim of the study is to describe non-traumatic (spontaneous) bladder rupture using a clinical case as an example.
Materials and methods. The patient’s complaints, clinical picture, life history, diagnostic measures and treatment tactics of nontraumatic (spontaneous) bladder rupture were analyzed.
Results and discussions. In the present study, a detailed analysis of a clinical case of bladder rupture was performed. The patient’s subjective complaints, objective symptoms, diagnostic methods and surgical treatment were studied. The obtained clinical data were subjected to comparative analysis with modern scientific publications on this pathology.
Conclusions. Based on clinical observation, it can be concluded that the history of nontraumatic bladder rupture is traceable to symptoms such as anterior abdominal wall pain, bloating, and impaired act of urination, but difficulties in making the diagnosis may also arise during the clinical evaluation phase, due to the mimicry of bladder rupture and acute surgical pathology.
