title: [Spontaneous bladder rupture secondary to urinary tuberculosis].
abstract: Atraumatic spontaneous vesical fracture is an uncommon occurrence. Here we present the case of a female patient with spontaneous vesical fracture secondary to urinary tract tuberculosis. A review of current literature showed another published case similar to ours. A brief comment is made on presentation signs and symptoms and picture evolution, as well as a discussion on the predisposing factors of spontaneous vesical fracture and its treatment.
