Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Youssef's syndrome is a rare vesico-uterine fistula causing periodic hematuria (menouria) due to the uterine isthmus acting as a sphincter. Diagnosis involves imaging, and surgical repair can preserve the uterus for future pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Youssef's syndrome is characterized by a vesico-uterine fistula.
  • This specific fistula occurs through the uterine isthmus, distinguishing it from other urogenital fistulas.

Observation:

  • Patients present with periodic hematuria, termed menouria.
  • Notably, there is an absence of typical vaginal bleeding or urinary leakage.
  • The unique presentation suggests a sphincteric function of the uterine isthmus.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis is confirmed through cystography and hysterography.
  • These imaging techniques visualize the fistula and its specific location.

Implications:

  • Surgical closure is the standard treatment for Youssef's syndrome.
  • The uterus can be preserved, allowing for potential future pregnancies in affected individuals.
