Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder is a rare entity. This is, in part, the cause for the low rate of correct preoperative diagnosis, the high rate of delayed diagnosis, morbidity and mortality. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder in an adult patient, complicated by extensive fascitis of the abdominal wall. The stormy course and long hospitalization in the case described are characteristic of patients with spontaneous bladder rupture and warrant a high index of suspicion in order to achieve an early diagnosis.
