This case report describes a 50-year-old woman presenting with a persistent vesicovaginal fistula that was directly associated with endometriosis. The authors highlight that this specific clinical scenario is an extremely rare occurrence in medical literature, distinguishing it from more common causes of fistulas. The paper serves as a documentation of this unusual presentation to raise awareness among clinicians regarding potential gynecological origins for such urological complications. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically its rare manifestation as a cause of vesicovaginal fistula.
