Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A case of spontaneous rupture of an acquired bladder diverticulum is presented. Diagnosis was made preoperatively and full recovery followed surgical treatment. A review of the literature revealed 9 other cases of spontaneous rupture. Bladder outlet obstruction and urinary tract infection were present in the majority of cases. In the past misdiagnosis and delayed treatment led to significant mortality. However, the prognosis currently is better due to the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, better radiological imaging studies, and earlier diagnosis and treatment. |
