Abstract:
We report the fourth case of ether cystitis, which occurred after ether was used to dissolve a Foley catheter balloon. The severity of the lesions required an ileocystoplasty to preserve normal micturition. Ether dissolution of Foley catheter balloons should be replaced with mechanical disruption.
