Abstract

The urogenital tract is a rare source of pneumoperitoneum in peritonitis. Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder (SRUB) as a cause is rarer. Preceding severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection predisposing to such eventuality is unprecedented. Experience with such a singular case is presented and discussed.
