Important Points of Diagnosis and Treatment Strategy of Intraperitoneal Bladder Perforation due to Blunt Pelvic Trauma in a Pediatric Case

Intraperitoneal bladder perforation is a vital condition that ischaracterized by perforation of the bladder into the intra-abdominalarea. It can lead to severe peritonitis and a delayed diagnosis canbe life-threatening. Bladder perforations are occurred by highenergy blunt trauma that disrupts the bony pelvis, direct blowto a distended bladder, penetrating traumas, urogynecologicalinterventions, indwelling catheters and iatrogenic causes. A 9-yearold boy who was involved in a moderate velocity a motor vehicleaccident was referred to our hospital due to pelvic fracture. Primaryassessment of the patient suggested hemodynamic stability withoutany signs of peritonitis and/or distention. With this case report,we aimed to present the clues in the diagnosis of intraperitonealbladder perforation and our treatment strategy in cases where thesymptoms and signs are insufficient to show intraperitoneal bladderperforation.
