Summary

We report the youngest patient experiencing bladder rupture during voiding cystourethrography. To prevent this rare complication in premature infants, minimize filling and voiding pressures using a small, balloon-less catheter.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Urology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a common diagnostic imaging procedure.
  • Bladder rupture is a rare but serious complication of VCUG.

Observation:

  • This case details the youngest patient, a premature infant, to experience bladder rupture during VCUG.
  • The rupture occurred during the voiding phase of the examination.

Findings:

  • Minimizing filling and voiding pressures is crucial during VCUG in premature infants.
  • Avoiding multiple filling cycles and using small, balloon-less catheters can reduce risk.

Implications:

  • This finding highlights the importance of careful technique in pediatric VCUG.
  • Adopting these pressure-minimizing strategies may prevent bladder rupture in vulnerable infant populations.
