Introduction:
Spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare condition, especially after a nontraumatic vaginal delivery.
Case Presentation:
A 32-year-old patient who had had a nontraumatic vaginal delivery presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain and anuria. Computed tomography showed free fluid in the peritoneal cavity. An exploratory laparoscopy revealed a perforation on the bladder dome that was laparoscopically sutured.
Conclusion:
In the presence of an acute abdominal pain with free fluid in the peritoneal cavity after a nontraumatic vaginal delivery, a differential diagnosis should be a spontaneous rupture of the bladder.
