“…Case reports have highlighted that spontaneous atraumatic bladder rupture can occur also in the context of alcohol intoxication whereby diuresis, the dampening effect of alcohol and the reduction in the urge to micturate can contribute to a sudden rise in intravesical pressure therefore increasing the risk of rupture 2 3. Other risk factors cited include previous pelvic radiotherapy,4 bladder diverticulum5 and a neurogenic bladder 6…”

“…In cases of high pressure, such as posterior and anterior urethral valves, urethral stricture/ atresia and bladder neck contracture, it has been proposed that rupture of the urinary tract acts as a 'pop off' mechanism decompressing the renal collective system and, therefore, having a protective role against renal parenchymal damage [5]. Factors affecting the integrity of the bladder wall may be prematurity, hypoxia [6], diverticula [7] and syndromes [8]. Iatrogenic perforation involves umbilical artery catheterization and, only rarely, traumatic placement of a Foley catheter [2], as in our case.…”

“…Perforations of the diverticula were related to friability of the tissues in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and increased intraluminal pressure due to diverticular neck edema, which occurs due to diverticulitis. [6,7] Primary bacterial peritonitis is defined as infection of the peritoneum without gastrointestinal visceral perforation or an etiologic source.…”

“…[1,3,5] Secondary peritonitis due to spontaneous rupture of diverticula has been reported. [6,7] Herein, we present a case with the diagnosis of generalized peritonitis secondary to atypical bladder diverticulum without perforation who underwent two emergency laparotomies.…”
