Blunt trauma of uterovaginal and vesical prolapse with associated bladder rupture.
A 71-year-old woman had complete uterovaginal and vesical prolapse associated with a large decubitus ulcer on the anterior vaginal wall. She sustained blunt trauma to the perineum after a fall, which resulted in rupture of the prolapsed bladder. The management of this rare problem is discussed.
