Tuberculous vesico-vaginal fistula.
A 32-year-old female with a past history of pulmonary tuberculosis presenting with dribbling of urine per vaginam had a small fistulous opening in the anterior vaginal wall. Chest X-ray showed active tuberculosis. Right hydronephrosis and hydroureter with autonephrectomy of left kidney and vesico-vaginal fistula were demonstrated on intravenous urography. On cystoscopy, the bladder was contracted with two small fistulous openings. Cecocystoplasty and repair of fistulae were successfully done. Histology of bladder wall showed tuberculous cystitis.
