Urinary bladder rupture in an elderly patient: case report

E L Marcus et al. Can Fam Physician. 1995 Nov.

Abstract

Urinary bladder rupture should be suspected in elderly patients with an acute abdomen. Because symptoms are often atypical among elderly patients, this condition is often undetected. Early diagnosis and treatment could help reduce the mortality rate associated with this condition.
