Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of urinary bladder following vaginal delivery is a surgical emergency. We present a case of primipara who presented on 6th day following instrumental vaginal delivery with distention of abdomen, massive urinary ascites, and anuria due to intraperitoneal rupture of urinary bladder. Computed tomography (CT) retrograde cystogram showed rupture at the dome of bladder for which exploratory laparotomy was done. Diagnosis of intraperitoneal bladder rupture was confirmed and the rent was repaired in two layers. Prolonged drainage of bladder was carried out. The patient on follow-up after 8 weeks did not show any voiding abnormalities.
