| Summary: | Vesicouterine fistula without vaginal leakage of urine, cyclic hematuria and amenorrhea is a rare condition, identified as Youssef’s syndrome. The most common cause of this syndrome is trauma during a cesarean section. Different therapeutical approaches that include conservative treatment, fulguration, hormonal therapy and open, laparoscopic or robotic surgeries have been mentioned in the literature. Herein a case in a 37-year-old patient is reported. Conservative treatment with urinary drainage was successful because the fistula was recognized in the immediate postoperative period. |
