title: [Vesicovaginal fistula after removal of neglected intravaginal foreign body].
abstract: Long duration intravaginal foreign bodies are a rare entity and are generally seen in the practice of Emergency departments where they are removed. We describe the case of a patient with the diagnosis of a bladder mass caused by a long duration intravaginal foreign body complicated by perforation into the bladder cavity. After the retrieval of the foreign body the patient developed a vesicovaginal fistula which was subsequently repaired using a suprapubic transvesical approach.
