ABSTRACT
Neonatal bladder rupture is rare as a complication of bladder obstruction due to abnormal anatomy or iatrogenic cause such as umbilical catheterization. The present study describes the case of a 27-day old infant with ascites due to bladder perforation secondary to bladder wall necrosis as a result of severe urinary tract infection. The baby was treated aggressively with antibiotics and underwent successful surgical repair of the perforation.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection in the absence of atherosclerosis, is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction. We report a 37 years old woman with an inferior wall acute myocardial infarction secondary to an spontaneous dissection of the right coronary artery. The patient`s evolution was uneventful and a new angiography performed six months later showed that the dissection persisted. The possible etiologies and treatment are discussed
