Core Tip	Here, we describe a patient with a bladder perforation. The patient had a long-term indwelling catheterization. The patient’s chief complaint was abdominal pain. Physical examination, abdominal computed tomography and laparoscopic exploration were all mistaken for a gastrointestinal perforation. Finally, a perforation of approximately 5 mm in diameter was found in the bladder wall during laparotomy. After reviewing the patient's previous medical records, we found that one year prior the patient underwent an ultrasound examination showing that the end of the catheter was embedded in the mucosal layer of the bladder. Therefore, the bladder perforation in this patient may be caused by the chronic compression of the urinary catheter against the bladder wall. This case reminds us that for patients with long-term indwelling catheters, bladder perforation may occur and needs to be dealt with timely.
