title: [The contribution of cystography in the diagnosis of bladder trauma].
abstract: With the aim of the evaluation of cystography as a diagnostic method, this study has retrospectively analysed 22 cases of bladder rupture (19) or perforation (3). When performed, the retrograde cystography has made the accurate diagnosis immediately in all the 15 cases (100%). The adequate filling and the x-rays made after the bladder evacuation are the main conditions, that allow the visualisation of the contrast material extravasation. Out of the remaining 7 cases, the urographic cystography has made the correct diagnosis in 6 of them (86%) and the method should be indicated in cases with concomitant rupture of the membranous urethra.
