Abstract

Vesicouterine fistulas (VUFs) are a pathological communication between uterus and urinary bladder, which are mainly related to iatrogenic lesions during caesarean sections or occur during vaginal deliveries after a previous caesarean section. The main symptoms are menstruation through the bladder (menouria), amenorrhea and urinary incontinence. Treatment can be conservative, hormonal or surgical; however, a spontaneous closure of the fistula is rare (5%). We report a case of a female VUF with menouria after caesarean section with a successful surgical fistula excision. Based on this case report, we analyse the causes, symptoms, diagnostics and treatment of VUF as reported in the literature.
