Spontaneous bladder rupture is a very rare condition. The majority of the cases are due to long-term indwelling catheters, radiation, or acute infravesical obstruction. Spontaneous rupture of the bladder due to inflammation is extremely rare. A case of intraperitoneal bladder rupture due to chronic cystitis is reported. Exploratory laparotomy and partial cystectomy were performed. Diagnosis and treatment are discussed. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.
