Bladder stone is a known complication in a neurogenic bladder that can very rarely cause vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). We are presenting the case of a woman in her late 70s, bed bound with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), who was referred to urology for consideration of suprapubic catheter due to difficulty in managing her indwelling urethral catheter. The ultrasonogram (USG) identified a 4.7 cm bladder stone with right-sided hydronephrosis (HN) and left atrophic kidney. A CT scan later showed that a 5 cm bladder stone has migrated through a VVF into her vagina. She had a cystoscopy and transvaginal retrieval of the stone. Given her performance status and intraoperative finding of a small contracted bladder, it was agreed to manage her VVF conservatively.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a primary bladder stone migrating into the vagina through a VVF.
膀胱结石是神经源性膀胱的已知并发症,极罕见引起膀胱阴道瘘(VVF)。我们报告一例 70 多岁女性,进展性多发性硬化症(MS)卧床不起,因留置导尿管管理困难而被转泌尿科考虑耻骨上导尿。超声检查(USG)发现 4.7 厘米膀胱结石,右侧肾积水(HN)和左侧萎缩性肾。后来的 CT 扫描显示,一个 5 厘米的膀胱结石已通过 VVF 迁移到她的阴道。她进行了膀胱镜检查和经阴道取石。鉴于她的表现状态和术中发现一个小的收缩膀胱,我们同意对 VVF 进行保守治疗。据我们所知,这是首例原发性膀胱结石通过 VVF 迁移到阴道的病例。
