Conservative management of a traumatic uterovesical fistula ('Youssef's syndrome')

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2003 Sep 10;110(1):114-6. doi: 10.1016/s0301-2115(03)00099-x.

Abstract

'Youssef's syndrome' is characterised by cyclical haematuria, the absence of vaginal bleeding and complete urinary continence. It is a rare complication of caesarean section when bladder injury occurs and a fistula develops. While operative repair may be required, we describe a case that was managed conservatively and resolved without surgical intervention.
