Herein, we report a rare case of a 65-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with intraperitoneal bladder rupture following an episode of acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, and which was successfully managed conservatively with urinary bladder catheterization and antibiotic therapy, without any complication.

Botulinum toxin (BT) was first used in urology for the treatment of neuro-urological disorders such as bladder sphincter dyssynergia and incontinence due to neuropathic detrusor overactivity. Its action is now clearly demonstrated and it is now widely used in treating neurogenic neuropathic detrusor overactivity. May the botulinic toxin constitute an effective treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)? Intraprostatic BT injection has recently been investigated as a treatment for BPH.
