The lethal involvement can develop either with  the advancement of existing pathology or due to the damage extended to the bladder wall following treatment mode with chemo-radiations. Since constant instillation of saline into the bladder lumen for  flush off the clots and other tissue debris, to avoid blockage of urine transition through the catheter. Regarding the diagnostic point of view earlier it was quite firmly ascertained with CT Plain Cystography and Contrast CT scan. Later it was super seeded with contrast cystography.

Reported cases of spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture of urinary bladder following advanced urothelial carcinoma is extremely rare, over and above diagnostic aid  with the Ultrasound to find or make a diagnosis is hardly reported.
