Bladder rupture in premature infant during voiding cystourethrography.
We report what we believe to be the youngest patient with bladder rupture during voiding cystourethrography. If voiding cystourethrography needs to be done in a premature infant, the filling pressures should be minimized, multiple filling cycles should be avoided, and the voiding pressures should be minimized by using a small, balloon-less catheter.
