During the review of the literature, twelve such cases were found out of which ten cases were saved because of early diagnosis and prompt medical intervention. The findings of the reviewed literature are presented in Table 1.

There are very few cases in the literature that portray the occurrence of SRUB due to liquor inebriation in the absence of associated traumatic bladder injury. Herein, we report a rare case of SRUB secondary to liquor inebriation, together with a review of the literatures, for a better understanding of this unusual phenomenon. This case could also have been saved if he could have gone to or have been taken to the hospital at the time he experienced the abdominal pain. Alcohol intake in this present-day world is common. Thus, along with treating doctors, the general public also need to be aware of this type of case. At the same time, different literature have further clarified different important aspects related to such cases. Uysal et al4was unable to find out the reason behind the spontaneous bladder rupture in a 78-year-old female presented with an acute abdomen. In a different case, a 26-year-old male presented with painless progressive abdominal distention; he was able to recoup fully after surgical repair of a spontaneous bladder perforation24. Parker et al. reported that bladder rupture can be associated with an experience of liquor fling25.

The spontaneous rupture of the bladder can be facilitated by excessive liquor intake which has a diuretic effect1 and leads to overdistension from the perspective of the sensitivity disorder due to the α-sympathomimetic effect and CNS depression produced by the liquor. In a male, congestion of the prostate and prostatic urethra exaggerates the obstruction of the outlet26. However, Dooldeniya et al17reported three female cases with SRUB following liquor intake thus suggested that this type of problem should be considered among women as well. Nausea and vomiting might lead to enhanced intra-abdominal pressure and a higher probability of SRUB27. Saliba et al27 suggested that patients presenting with alcohol inebriation and acute abdomen or ascites should be considered for the differential diagnoses of SRUB.

The review of the literature has clearly shown that most cases of spontaneous bladder rupture in affiliation with liquor intake are treated without complication when diagnosed quickly. Delayed diagnosis has led to considerable morbidity and fatality28. Different studies 191013have shown that SRUB following liquor inebriation is rare. Despite the infrequency, the cases in the literature retain consistency with regard to features at presentation, course, and appropriate treatment. It is important for treating doctors, especially of the emergency department to be aware of this particular condition due to the diagnostic and subsequent treatment difficulties. At the same time, the professionals in the field of forensic medicine have to consider this entity while giving opinions about the cause of death.
