title: [Spontaneous intraperitoneal perforation of the urinary bladder--a rare cause of acute abdomen. 2 case reports].
abstract: In the last ten years we have seen two cases from which we can prove that the cause of the acute abdomen was an intraperitoneal urinary bladder perforation. One had previously undergone radiation treatment of the abdomen and the other had a total abdominal hysterectomy.
