Popis: Urethrovaginal fistula is an abnormal communication between the urethra and vagina. Urethrovaginal fistula results in urinary incontinence with urine continually leaking from the vagina. In children congenital anomaly may also be the cause. Congenital Urethrovaginal fistula is an extremely rare genitourinary anomaly. The reported five cases in the literature are all associated with urogenital abnormalities like vaginal septum, vaginal agenesis and imperforate hymen. We present a case of a 7-year-old female that was referred from a peripheral hospital for micturating cystourethrography (MCUG) on account of urinary incontinence and passage of urine from vaginal orifice. Following MCUG the urethra, proximal fistula between the urethra and vagina, distended urinary bladder, contrast opacified uterus and a fallopian tube were all demonstrated. We report this case because of its rarity in the literature.
