False negative retrograde cystography with bladder rupture owing to external trauma.
False negative retrograde cystograms were found in five of 116 bladder ruptures due to external trauma. A volume of 250 ml or less of contrast medium and the lack of a post-washout film were felt to be responsible for the false negative findings. With a volume of 400 ml of contrast medium and a post-washout film, false negative retrograde cystograms were not obtained.
