CT cystography

CT cystography

classification scheme for bladder injury based on:

1. 2. 3.

The degree of wall injury Anatomic location Demonstrated characteristic imaging features for each type of injury

4/29/12

CT cystography

CT cystography with retrograde bladder distention(150-300cc) replacing radiography Diagnostic accuracy approaching 100% CT scan with intravenous administrated contrast is not feasible because of increased scan time to 30min for delay scans 50 mL of Hypaque 60 [Nycomed, Princeton,NJ] and 450 mL of normal saline solution

Postdrainage images through the decompressed bladder are not 4/29/12 required

CT cystography
CT

cystography is routinely considered in

1. 2. 3.

Known pelvic fractures Gross hematuria Severe pelvic trauma with no known pelvic fractures

Classification

Surgery or conservative management?

Type 2 and 5 need surgery Type 1 and 3 manage conservatively Type 4 manage conservatively if urine clear of blood,cathater function well and blader neck is not injured.otherwise surgery is prefered.

Type 1

Contusion are normal in CT cystography

Findings

Type 2
10%20% Direct

of major bladder injuries

blow to the already distended bladder contrast material Around bowel loops, Between mesenteric folds, In the paracolic gutters.

Intraperitoneal 1. 2. 3.

Type 3
An

intramural or partial-thickness laceration with intact serosa

intramural

hemorrhage and submucosal extravasation of contrast material without transmural extension.

Type 4
Usually

caused by penetrating trauma

In

blunt trauma, the presumed mechanism is direct laceration of the bladder by bone fragments from a pelvic fracture is confined to

Type 5: Combined Rupture?

4/29/12

NO,its type 4b
Contrast

material is seen in the properitoneal space (extraperitoneal subserous tissue) of the right lower quadrant. should not be confused with intraperitoneal contrast material.
