Spontaneous urinary bladder rupture in children is a very rare clinical occurrence that can be life threatening if left untreated.

Here, we present a case of spontaneous bladder perforation that was operated with a diagnosis of acute abdomen. No etiological factor for bladder perforation was found, and after the operation, the patient experienced no further problems.
