Abstract
-
Pelvic fracture and bladder rupture resulted in bladder wall entrapment in the fracture site of a patient involved in a fall down accident. Although hematuria and bladder rupture are known to occur after fracture of the pelvis, our literature review showed no reports of this type injury or management. Abscess was drainaged and sepsis was managed with fluid and antibiotics treatment. Bladder extravasation was managed with primary repair and surgical extraction of catheter drainage. We report a case of a patient who presented with traumatic bladder rupture in pelvic fracture.
