Abstract:
The main cause of vesicovaginal fistula is gynecologic or obstetric manipulation, but vesicovaginal fistula as a complication of genitourinary tuberculosis is extremely rare. The diagnosis is confirmed by the histological findings, and treatment is surgical repair with antituberculous medication. We report here on the presentation and management of extensive tuberculosis that led to formation of a vesicovaginal fistula in an adult.
