TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Delayed presentation of intraperitoneal bladder rupture following domestic violence in pregnancy JO - Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research A1 - Dorairaj, Jayalakshmi A1 - Sagili, Haritha A1 - Rani, Reddi A1 - Nanjundan, Pramya A1 - Rajendran, Jisha A1 - Ananthakrishnan, Ramesh SP - 753 EP - 756 VL - 38 IS - 4 N2 - Trauma during pregnancy can present a unique challenge because of care for the mother and the fetus. About 6-7% of all pregnant patients are exposed to some sort of trauma, especially during the third trimester, with 0.3-0.4% requiring hospitalization. Although mostly accidental, injuries are sometimes caused by intentional violence. There is no published report on bladder rupture following trauma in pregnancy. We report a case of bladder injury following abdominal trauma in a pregnant woman.
