Background:
The purpose of the study was to analyze the incidence, causes, and management of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) in adolescent girls.
Cases:
Three girls of adolescent age were diagnosed with VVF, caused by a vaginal foreign body (ie, an aerosol spray cap). Transvesical reconstruction was performed in 2 cases. After the diagnosis of VVF, the third girl was discharged home with Foley catheter drainage. Three months later, she presented with pregnancy and was lost to follow-up.
Summary And Conclusion:
Evaluation of unusual urinary symptoms in an adolescent should include vaginal examination and/or imaging. Aerosol spray caps remain the most common vaginal foreign body resulting in VVFs in adolescent girls in Lithuania. Transvesical reconstruction is safe and efficient.
