title: Transvaginal leak of peritoneal dialysate demonstrated by CT peritoneography.
abstract: CT peritoneography is the investigation of choice for suspected leaks or hernias in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). We report a case of transvaginal leak of peritoneal dialysate in a young woman, confirmed by CT peritoneography. CAPD has been successfully recommenced following the repair of a left vaginal vault erosion.
