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.
