An inebriated 58-year-old woman with a history of hysterectomy presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. The patient received hydration and acetaminophen, which led to symptom resolution. The patient returned with severe abdominal pain, 12 hours later. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a large volume of ascites and bladder wall disruption. Ascitic fluid analysis showed an elevated creatinine (Cre) level of 7.56 mg/dl, and the ascites to serum Cre ratio was 2.96, which indicated urinary ascites secondary to bladder rupture. The patient was diagnosed with intraperitoneal bladder rupture and underwent successful conservative treatment using an indwelling urinary catheter.

The occurrence of spontaneous bladder rupture during labor or the postpartum period after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery is exceedingly uncommon. However, we encountered a case involving spontaneous bladder rupture, which resulted in the development of localized fluid collections in the abdomen after an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. In this instance, the absence of typical peritonitis symptoms, such as abdominal pain or tenderness, and the lack of typical urological symptoms, including haematuria, dysuria, and anuria, coupled with the absence of clinical manifestations of puerperal sepsis, the absence of microbial presence in the ascitic fluid, and the patient's symptomatic amelioration following antibiotic therapy, contributed to a delay in identifying the bladder rupture.

Femoral central venous catheterization is a commonly performed procedure in the intensive care unit or ward in a hospital setting. Unfortunately, the venous catheterization procedure can cause insertion-related complications, commonly referred to as mechanical complications, which can range from being clinically insignificant to life-threatening if untreated. The femoral vein is chosen due to its low risk for complications such as bleeding, which are easy to control when the patient is on anticoagulants.
