Abstract:Iatrogenic intraperitoneal bladder rupture is an entity that may present in a patient with idiopathic ascites. Nuclear scintigraphy is an unusual modality for the diagnosis of this etiology, and in particular, the postvoid imaging demonstrates critical findings. We present a case report, pertinent imaging, and a review of literature.
“…However, the appearance of reflux during dynamic phase is a well-known finding. [9][10][11][12] The significance of postvoid imaging is highlighted in problems other than reflux, 13 in addition to that in the index case. 14 There are 2 points that may be worth considering in this case.…”
In the present note, a case with rising serum creatinine shortly posttransplantation was referred for 99m Tc-DTPA scan. The previous nonfunctioning renal allograft in the left hemipelvis showed no finding during dynamic phase of scan and filling phase of bladder but revealed a high-grade vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in postvoid image, which can be responsible, partly, for the patient's present and prior symptoms.
