Abstract

Spontaneous idiopathic rupture of the bladder (SIBR) is still a rare occurrence. Although a few cases of bladder wall rupture as
sociated with bladder wall disease have been documented in the literature, there are limited cases reported worldwide. We describe
a patient who presented to the Emergency Department of Tauranga Hospital in New Zealand with diffuse abdominal pain due to
a bladder rupture confirmed by a CT-scan. Despite no obvious explanation a relationship with an alcohol binge was posited. He
underwent surgery and recovered completely.
