“…Neurofibroma of the bladder is a rare condition with few reported cases [2,9,10,12,14,17] in the literature and neurofibromatosis of the bladder resulting in vesicovaginal fistula has not been previously reported to the best of our knowledge after a thorough literature search. The first case of bladder and spinal neurofibromatosis was reported by Gerhardt in 1878 [12].…”

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant transmitted disease with various forms of clinical presentation. It commonly affects the skin and the nervous system. Involvement of the genitourinary system is rare. The bladder is the most commonly affected organ in the urinary system. Vesicovaginal fistula presenting as continuous leakage of urine per vagina is a rare urogenital manifestation of neurofibromatosis which has not been previously reported to the best of our knowledge. Vesicovaginal fistula is not a usual complication of urethral catheterization. Our aim is to report a rare case of vesicovaginal fistula in a patient with neurofibromatosis.
