title: Spontaneous resolution of ureterovaginal fistula.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report one case of a spontaneous resolution of a uretero-vaginal fistula, and we review the current diagnostic and therapeutic features of this condition in the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the case of a 41-year-old woman who, during the late postoperative period of a radical hysterectomy, presented episodes of daily and nocturnal incontinence with episodic flank pain compatible with uretero-vaginal fistula.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One month after diagnosis the patient does not report incontinence during day or night, and the lumbar pain has disappeared. An intravenous urography shows that there has been a spontaneous resolution of the uretero-vaginal fistula.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Spontaneous resolution of a uretero-vaginal fistula is rare. Most fistulas require endourological or surgical treatment.
