Abstract

A ruptured bladder, or extravasation from the bladder, is almost always associated with trauma. Spontaneous extravasation, or iatrogenic extravasation, is extremely rare, with only few reported cases. Herein, two cases of bladder rupture, which occurred during voiding cystourethrography (VCUG), one in an 18 month old patient and the other in a 6 week old patient, due to instill dye by high pressure, are presented.

Keywords: Extravasation, Bladder, Rupture
