An unusual cause of anuria in a burned child.
When treating children with burns we avoid catheterization whenever possible since the complications may outweigh the benefits. We present the case of a 1-year-old infant with 13 per cent burns who required catheterization. The catheter knotted in the bladder, obstructing urine outflow. A general anaesthetic was required to remove it.
