Introduction: Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder is a rare, difficult to diagnose surgical emergency with a high mortality, there are many causes for spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder, but we only found 2 reports on this condition in our literature search. A 36-year-old male patient was admitted with “whole abdominal pain associated with hematuria for 5 hours.” Our patient did not have a history of definite allergy, but a long-term history of alcohol abuse. This patient was followed up for 1 year, and the cystoscopy recheck showed that the bladder lesion had healed. Conclusions: Since eosinophilic cystitis is associated with long-term alcohol consumption, we recommended that the patient should stop drinking and taking antihistamines.
