title: Intraperitoneal rupture of the bladder.
abstract: Intraperitoneal bladder ruptures are usually injuries of violent deceleration, although spontaneous ruptures have occurred in near-term pregnancies. Once diagnosis is established by a static cystogram and withdrawal films, exploration of the abdomen and repair of the bladder rupture are indicated. Complications are usually from associated injuries and not from suprapubic drainage.
