Fetal bladder rupture due to anteriorurethral valves

Thierry Merrot et al. Urology. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

A rupture of the fetal bladder that resulted in urinary ascites has rarely been reported in published studies. We present the first case of a spontaneous rupture of the fetal bladder, due to an anterior urethral valve, in which the diagnosis was suspected prenatally by means of Doppler ultrasonography and was confirmed postnatally.
