abstract: To discuss the diagnosis and therapy of congenital vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). We reported 1 case of pregnancy and congenital VVF and summarized the pathogenesis and characters. Congenital VVF is extremely rare and characterised by continuous urinary leakage,cyclical hematuria with severe suprapubic pain. It is always associated with other urinary tract abnormalities, urinary tract infection and stone. The pathogenesis is related with genetic, environment, drugs, radiation and incomplete fusion of mullerian. The diagnosis relies on clinical manifestation and radiological examinations.Surgical resection is the key to treatment. Pregnancy and congenital VVF is extremely rare and always misdiagnosised associated with other urinary tract abnormalities. Early diagnosis and making sure the location, size and relationship with other tissues are important. Reasonable preoperative preparation, surgical and postoperative surgical care are the key for treatment.
