Abstract
Urinary bladder perforation is most commonly observed after pelvic trauma. It can also be a result of
iatrogenic injury during various surgical procedures. Very rarely, diseased bladder can spontaneously
rupture. Traumatic bladder rupture is a serious event with mortality rate approaching 50%. Urinary bladder
diverticulae are present of the bladder wall and are a consequence of bladder outflow obstruction, for
example in prostatic enlargement. Foley’s catheterization is most commonly associated commonly with
urethral trauma. We presented a emphasis is made unique case of perforation of urinary bladder diverticulum after Foley’s catheterization. To the best of our knowledge, such a case has never been reported before
in the medical literature. An emphasis was made on the fact that, physicians should keep in mind the differential of perforated urinary bladder while attending a patient with abdominal pain because the signs and
symptoms are very non specificurinary bladder while attending a patient with abdominal pain just because
its signs and symptoms are very non-specific. In addition, missing a perforated urinary bladder is easy and
can result in significant morbidity and mortality.
