title: [Severe injury of the female urethra resulting from pelvic fracture. Report of a case].
abstract: The authors report the case of a woman presenting with urethrovesical rupture and vaginal fistula following pelvic trauma. This is a rare lesion, only 30 cases were reported in the literature [12]. The diagnosis may be initially missed, as it requires a meticulous emergency uro-gynaecological examination. Lesions involve the bladder and almost all of the urethra, injuring both the smooth and the striated sphincters. Treatment by reconstructive surgery after good exposure of the fistula achieved a good anatomical result and a moderate functional result.
