Youssef syndrome with a summary of management options.

Vesicouterine fistula is one of the rare varieties of urogenital fistula. Type I urogenital fistula or Youssef syndrome is characterised by menouria, amenorrhoea and urinary continence and it mostly follows lower segment caesarean delivery. There are only scattered case reports to help guide diagnostic and therapeutic options for this condition. These patients mostly need a combination of diagnostic modalities to confirm the diagnosis. Here, we present one such case of para 4 live 4 with classical symptoms of Youssef syndrome following a laparotomy for uterine rupture repair. CT urography confirmed the diagnosis and cystoscopy helped localise the exact location. Transabdominal fistula excision and repair was done. The paper also presents a summary of diagnostic and therapeutic options for this condition as reported in previous case reports for easy reference for practising gynaecologists and urologists.
