Abstract

Youssef syndrome which is also known as vesicouterine fistula is a very rare condition with an incidence of 1–4%. It is an iatrogenic complication, the cesarean section being a common etiology while vaginal birth after cesarean section is uncommon. It may have delayed presentation ranging from weeks to years. It can be diagnosed with sonography, cystoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, but hysteroscopy is more reliable. The definitive management is a surgical treatment only.
