  • Title: Cyclical haematuria sequel to uterine myomectomy: a case report.
    Author: Okafor PI, Orakwe JC, Mbonu OO.
    Journal: West Afr J Med; 2002; 21(4):341-2. PubMed ID: 12665283.
    Abstract:
    A thirty-year old married nulliparous lady had a difficult myomectomy done by a general practitioner one year prior to presentation. Two months after the operation, she had her menstruation, but with a concurrent total, painless haematuria. This combination continued for nine months before her family physician referred her to the urological clinic. Full urological work-up revealed an iatrogenic vesico-uterine fistula, but the features were not consistent with those of the classical vesico-uterine fistula syndrome. Transabdominal fistulectomy not only controlled the haematuria but also helped the patient to achieve a viable pregnancy.
