Sumario: | Bladder perforation is a potentially life-threatening condition, typically occurring after genitourinary trauma. The vast majority of cases are secondary to blunt abdominal trauma resulting in pelvic fractures, with motor vehicle accidents the commonest cause. There are however a wide range of underlying causes, including iatrogenic injuries and spontaneous perforations. This case series of 4 unusual cases of bladder perforations presenting to a single center under the same consultant within a 3-month period aims to highlight the diverse nature of patients who can present with bladder perforations and the different management options available. |
