[Ascites and Renal Insufficiency in a 25 Year Old Woman].

CLINICAL CASE: We report of a 25 year old woman who presented with acute dysuria. She had a normal vaginal delivery three months earlier. She developed increasing ascites and laboratory findings were indicative for acute renal failure.

DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY: An explorative laparotomy revealed a tiny leak of the urinary bladder that was sutured.

CONCLUSION

Spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture is rare and clinically present as ascites and acute renal failure. The evaluation of the cause for atraumatic bladder ruptures may be challenging.
