Pelvic and bladder trauma: a case report and subject review.
Pelvic fracture and bladder rupture resulted in bladder wall entrapment in the fracture site of a patient involved in a severe motor vehicle accident. Although hematuria and bladder rupture are known to occur after fracture of the pelvis, our literature review showed no reports of this type of injury or management. Bladder extravasation was managed with catheter drainage and surgical extraction; viscus repair was performed for the bladder rupture. Fracture healing and bladder continuity resolved uneventfully.
