title: Prenatal diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of the fetal bladder with color Doppler ultrasonography.
abstract: Rupture of the fetal-neonatal bladder that results in urinary ascites has rarely been reported in the literature. In this report we present the first case of spontaneous rupture of the fetal bladder in which the diagnosis was made prenatally by means of color Doppler ultrasonography.
