A rare case of spontaneous bladder rupture in bladder extrophy

The authors report a rare case of spontaneous bladder rupture in a 13-year-old girl who underwent functional closure for bladder extrophy. Although bladder rupture can happen in operations for bladder augmentation, it is very rare in the above cases. The pathogenesis of this complication due to anatomical and functional factors is analysed, emphasising the need for careful long-term urologic follow-up.
