An Unusual Intra-Vesicle Foreign Body Following Fall off a Tropical Fruit Tree.
Penetrating injuries to bladder occur in 20 % of cases. Synchronous bladder and rectal perforation occur in 30-64 % of cases. The management of rectal and bladder injuries depend on whether it is an extra-peritoneal or intra-peritoneal injury. We hereby, report a case of penetrating trauma in a 13 y...
