Abstrakt: The article presents the case report of a patient suffering from rupture of urinary bladder. The patient, a baby girl, was born to a 22-year-old mother. Labor and delivery were unremarkable. The Apgar scores at one and five minutes of life were 6 and 7 respectively. Shortly after birth, the infant was noted to be in respiratory distress. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to insert an umbilical artery catheter. Finally, an umbilical artery cutdown was performed through an infraumbilical incision. During the third day of life, the urine output began to decrease. The patient was seen by a urologist and a catheter inserted into the bladder. Injection of dye through the urethral catheter revealed free communication between the bladder and peritoneal space. The baby's condition progressively worsened and on the fifth day of life she died.
