Rare case of spontaneous extraperitoneal bladder rupture in an elderly bedbound female: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spontaneous bladder rupture (SBR) is a rare but life-threatening condition that typically occurs in the setting of bladder pathology, infection, or increased intravesical pressure.
