The intrapelvic part of the bladder was connected to fibrotic tissue, which developed after the pelvic fractures and caused coprostasis. Di agnosis was based on punction and retrograde filling of the bladder wi th a contrast medium. Surgical intervention included dorsal incision a nd preparation of the bladder, thereafter a laparatomy was performed a nd the bladder fixed in the abdominal cavity, resulting in healing.
