    Massive hemoperitoneum in newborns, often from birth trauma, can rarely occur after suprapubic bladder aspiration. This case highlights a previously undocumented complication of this procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Hemoperitoneum in neonates is typically linked to birth-related visceral injuries.
    • Suprapubic bladder aspiration is a procedure used for obtaining sterile urine samples in infants.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare instance of massive hemoperitoneum.
    • The complication arose following a suprapubic bladder aspiration procedure.

    Findings:

    • A significant intra-abdominal hemorrhage (hemoperitoneum) was observed.
    • The hemorrhage was directly associated with the suprapubic bladder aspiration.

    Implications:

    • This finding suggests a potential risk of hemoperitoneum following suprapubic bladder aspiration.

  • Clinicians should be aware of this rare but serious complication.
  • Further investigation into the mechanism and prevention of this complication is warranted.
