Background: Spontaneous rupture of urinary bladder (SRUB) without trauma is an extremely rare pathology. The incidence is estimated to about 1/126,000. It is difficult to diagnose. Aim: To present an exceptional case report and emphasize on the difficulty of diagnosis. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 63-year-old man. The initial diagnosis of SRUB was obscured by a urinary retention. The pelvic ultrasound finally led to the diagnosis. We will pay particular attention to the circumstances of the diagnosis and the therapeutic measures applied. Conclusion: SRUB is exceptional and misdiagnosis is usual. Management is most of the time surgical.
