Abstract

Transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome is a rare and serious complication of bladder perforation during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), secondary to the excessive absorption of electrolytes-free irrigating fluid by extravascular route. Its defined as the combination of clinical cardiovascular and/or neurological manifestations, along with hyponatremia. Herein we report a rare case of 61-year-old patient, who presented a typical and severe TUR syndrome, secondary to intraperitoneal bladder perforation during TURBT, requiring intubation and positive inotropic drugs in the intensive care unit (ICU), and which was successfully managed conservatively. The patient was discharged from the hospital without any complications.
