Abstract

Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of fetal obstructive uropathy is relatively common. However, the complication of spontaneous rupture of the obstructed bladder in utero causing fetal urinary ascites is extremely rare. This case report describes an unusual case of congenital bladder perforation and urinary ascites diagnosed in utero. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
