Objectives To perform a systematic review of all cases of spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder (SRUB) and to describe the demographic data, associated comorbidities, clinical presentation, diagnosis, relevant laboratory findings, associated factors, management, morbidity and mortality associated with the presentation of SRUB. Methods The study protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). A search was carried out across the following electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Full texts of selected studies were analysed, and data extracted. The review was reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA). Results A total of 278 articles comprising 240 case reports and 38 case series, with a total of 351 patients were included. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of all included patients was 47.5 (33–65) years. The median (IQR) time to presentation was 48 (24–96) h, with the major presenting symptom being abdominal pain (76%). In patients in whom the diagnosis was made prior to any intervention, the condition was misdiagnosed in 64% of cases. The diagnosis was confirmed during explorative open surgery in 42% of cases. Pelvic radiation (13%) and alcohol intoxication (11%) were the most common associated factors. Intraperitoneal rupture (89%) was much more common, with the dome of the bladder being most frequently involved (55%). The overall mortality was 15%. Conclusion This review identified a number of key factors that appear to be associated with an increased incidence of SRUB. It also emphasized the high rate of misdiagnosis and challenge in confirming the diagnosis. Overall, it highlighted the importance of the need for increased awareness and maintaining a high index of suspicion for this condition.

“…Bladder rupture in patients with psychiatric disorders has been usually attributed to urinary retention due to psychotropic drugs [ 7 ]. For example, a case report described a woman with schizoaffective disorder who received treatment involving multiple psychotropic drugs, including four types of antipsychotic agents and one anticholinergic agent, leading to bladder rupture [ 8 ]. Additionally, there was a rare case of bladder rupture reported during electroconvulsive therapy in a patient with depression [ 9 ].…”

Spontaneous Bladder Rupture in a Catatonic Schizophrenia Patient

Case Reports in Psychiatry

Catatonia is a psychiatric emergency in schizophrenia that often leads to excessive activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Urinary retention in catatonia is often underestimated but has potentially detrimental consequences. Herein, we present the case of a woman in her 40s with schizophrenia treated for catatonia during a relapse. When treated as an inpatient, the patient suddenly complained of severe abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a spontaneous rupture of the posterior wall of the bladder, requiring emergency repair surgery in the urology department. The patient was readmitted to our hospital following surgery and ultimately discharged 1 month later. Bladder rupture is life-threatening, and delayed diagnosis and treatment can be fatal. This case report serves as a warning that psychiatrists should not overlook urinary retention in patients with catatonia and should consider bladder rupture in the differential diagnosis when these patients have abdominal pain.
