Abstract :
Introduction: Spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare manifestation of hyporeflexic bladder due to HAM/TSP ( human T-cell lymphotropic
virus type 1 (HTLV1) associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis). Case Presentation: We report a case of spontaneous bladder rupture in a 62-year-old woman with a HTLV1 infection. Discussion: Bladder over-distention and spontaneous bladder rupture, although very rare in HAM/TSP, should be considered in a
differential diagnosis of bladder rupture, especially in patients with a history of HTLV1.
