title: [Vesicouterine fistula - Youssef syndrome : a case report].
abstract: A 38-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of cyclic hematuria and amenorrhea after Caesarean section. Magnetic resonance imaging showed vesicouterine fistula. The patient was treated with luteinzing hormone-releasing hormone analog to stop menstruation for six months. We performed transperitoneal closure of the vesicouterine fistula. Normal menstruation resumed after 4 months, and the symptoms disappeared. This case was considered Youssef syndrome (cyclic hematuria without vasinal amenorrhea or urinary incontinence). We discuss the cause of this syndrome.
