| Summary: | Iatrogenic bladder rupture in children during a retrograde cystourethrography is very uncommon. We present a case of iatrogenic intraperitoneal bladder rupture in a 9-month child during the retrograde cystourethrography performed by a radiologist. The child presented in a paediatric emergency after 6 h with an acute abdomen indicating urinary peritonitis. An urgent laparotomy was performed and the perforation was repaired in two layers. The follow-up was unremarkable. This report emphasises the importance of respecting the criteria of the proper retrograde cystourethrography imaging procedure. |
