Ruptured Urinary Bladder Diagnosed by Point-of-care Ultrasound
CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of abdominal pain in a male patient who performed daily self-catheterization and developed a ruptured urinary bladder, which was diagnosed at bedside in the emergency department with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). DISCUSSION: Ruptured urinary bladder is commo...

description | CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of abdominal pain in a male patient who performed daily self-catheterization and developed a ruptured urinary bladder, which was diagnosed at bedside in the emergency department with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). DISCUSSION: Ruptured urinary bladder is commonly associated with blunt abdominal trauma. It is a rare complication of Foley catheter insertion. These images demonstrate that POCUS can be used as a screening tool to evaluate for bladder rupture when clinically suspected. |
