title: Intraperitoneal bladder rupture after normal vaginal delivery.
abstract: To our knowledge we report the first case of bladder perforation in a patient with no history of pelvic surgery or delivery. The patient presented 3 days post partum with renal failure and ascites. Paracentesis and cystography confirmed urinary ascites and bladder rupture. After open bladder repair convalescence was uneventful. The literature on intraperitoneal bladder rupture and urinary ascites is reviewed.
