Urinary Bladder Trauma
• Is more frequent in blunt injuries.
•Conventional cystography has long been
considered the standard reference for
evaluation of bladder injury, and is
considered more senstive.
•The advance of CT cystography replaces
the conventional cystography in many
centers. It has a diagnostic accuracy
approaching 100 %.
Types of UB Trauma
Fives types of bladder injury are described
Type 1: Contusion
Type 2: Intraperitoneal Rupture
Type 3: Interstitial Injury
Type 4: Extraperitoneal Rupture
Type 5: Combined Rupture
INTRAPERITONEAL
RUPTURE
On a CT cystogram, an intravesical hematoma (arrow)
and a small focus of air introduced during bladder
filling are seen as filling defects.
Interstitial injury
CT cystogram demonstrates focal lenticular thickening of the bladder wall due to
interstitial hematoma and likely muscular disruption (black arrow), even material is seen
delineating the injury. Multiple pelvic fractures are also noted (white arrows)
Simple extraperitoneal
rupture
CT cystogram demonstrates extravasated contrast material confined to the
perivesical space within the extraperitoneal pelvis (arrows). The extravasated
contrast material demonstrates the typical "molar tooth" appearance
Complex
extraperitoneal
rupture
CT cystogram demonstrates extraperitoneal perivesicular
extravasation with the typical molar tooth appearance (solid arrows).
There is extension into the rectus abdominis muscle as well as the
superficial fatty layer (fascia of Camper) and deeper membranous layer
(Scarpa fascia) of the subcutaneous fascia (open arrow).
CT cystograms show diastasis of the pubis symphysis (arrowheads in a)
with disruption of the urogenital diaphragm, which allows contrast material
to extend directly into the deeper membranous subcutaneous fascial
planes and along the scrotal sub-dartos fascia (arrows).
Combined intraperitoneal & extraperitoneal Rupture
free contrast material delineating loops of small bowel, a finding that is characteristic of an intraperitoneal rupture.
contrast material insinuating itself into the perivesical and perirectal spaces of the extraperitoneal pelvis (straight arrows). Pubic rami fractures are also noted (curved arrow).
The arrows point to the presence of acute hematoma with its whorled-like appearance
within the confines of the urinary bladder. Also note the presence of fluid within the
peritoneal cavity compatible with ascites, a mixture of blood and urine.
INTRAPERITONEAL BLADDER RUPTURE WITH HEMATOMA WITHIN CONFINES OF BLADDER
CT cystogram demonstrates the classic appearance of an
intraperitoneal rupture, with extravasated contrast material
between loops of small bowel (arrows) and the anterior
pararenal fascia (arrowheads).
CT cystogram demonstrates
heterogeneous attenuation at the
bladder dome rupture site (arrow).
