Case contributed by Ian Bickle
Diagnosis certain

Presentation

Previous hysterectomy for cervical cancer.

Patient Data

Age: 45 years
Gender: Female

Cystogram

Fluoroscopy

Bladder filled via urethral catheter with 350mls of water soluble contrast.

Case Discussion

Vesicovaginal fistulas can occur as a complication of pelvic surgery. This case is a good illustration of the appearance on fluoroscopy.

The patient had had previous surgery for vesicovaginal fistula, and also complained of dampness in the vagina during the image acquisition giving further evidence to this diagnosis.
