Herein we describe a case of spontaneous rupture of the bladder presenting with uncommon clinical features that led to difficulty in making the diagnosis. The literature on similar cases in briefly reviewed.
METHODS/RESULTS: A case of rupture of the bladder arising from no apparent cause is described. Oliguria and abdominal pain were the presenting features and analysis disclosed renal failure.
Rupture of the bladder may cause acute renal failure and acute abdomen and should therefore be included in the diagnostic algorithms of both disease entities.
