Urinary bladder rupture in a 52-year-old woman after a motor vehicle collision. (A) Pelvis radiograph demonstrates fractures in the left sacral ala, left ischium, bilateral superior pubic rami, and right inferior pubic ramus. (B) A computed tomography cystogram shows a rupture in the right anterolateral aspect of the urinary bladder wall. (C) Presence of contrast in the right paracolic gutter is indicative of an intraperitoneal bladder rupture. Patient was managed conservatively with placement of a Foley catheter. (D) Follow-up cystogram performed ∼1 month afterwards shows interval resolution of the bladder rupture.
