膀胱自然破裂の1例

Abstract

Although traumatic rupture of the urinary bladder has been frequently encountered with increased traffic accident and labor disaster, spontaneous rupture of this organ is considerably rare. A 51-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with the chief complaints of lower abdominal pain and gross hematuria. Routine cystography revealed a diverticulum-like shadow of the bladder and cystoscopic examination confirmed a hiatus of its right anterior wall. Partial cystectomy with a removal of the cystic mass was performed and postoperative course was uneventful. Histological findings of the cystic wall showed a pseudocyst. The lesion probably occurred two years prior to admission and passed without any symptoms until he came with gross hematuria.
