| Summary: | Although tuberculosis most commonly causes thickening and contracture of the urinary bladder, rarely, inflammatory infiltration with central necrosis and perforation may occur. Hereby, the authors present a case report of a 24-year-old man with recurrent spontaneous perforation of the urinary bladder due to tuberculosis. In the first presentation, he recovered well with conservative treatment. In the second presentation, he underwent ileal augmentation cystoplasty, and he did well after the definitive surgery. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of recurrent perforation of tuberculous urinary bladder. Perforation of the urinary bladder due to tuberculosis is a rarity, and a high index of clinical suspicion and appropriate investigation is needed for timely diagnosis and treatment. |
