“…Few cases have been described in the literature on long foreign bodies in the bladder. Mukerji4 discussed the insertion of 142 cm-long electrical cord by a 12-year-old girl into her bladder. A report of a 20-year-old man, who self-introduced 95 cm-long plastic tube in his urinary bladder, was described by Jani 5.…”

SUMMARYIn this case report, we describe our experience of a self-inflicted long complex urethrovesical foreign body managed suprapubically through the minimally invasive technique. A 21-year-old man with antipsychotic treatment for the past 10 years presented with a long electric cable wire in his bladder with the distal end in the penile urethra. He presented with symptoms of voiding difficulty and gross haematuria. An attempt of gentle retrieval of wire through the cystoscopic forceps was not successful due to a very complex knot of cable in the bladder. To avoid open surgery such as suprapubic cystotomy, the percutaneous minimally invasive approach was planned. Access to the bladder was achieved by the suprapubic puncture of the bladder, placement of a guide-wire and serial dilation of suprapubic tract. With the help of nephroscope, through suprapubic tract, the cable wire was retrieved antegradely without causing undue trauma to the bladder or urethra. BACKGROUND

The urethra is a usual site of introduction of foreign bodies for autoerotic stimulation. We present an unusual case of bladder perforation caused by foreign body that was self-inserted in the urethra and consequently slipped inside the bladder in a 29-year-old female patient with psychiatric disease. The patient was referred to our department for macroscopic hematuria and abdominal pain. Imaging studies revealed the presence of a foreign body in the pelvic area which had perforated the left lateral wall of the bladder. The foreign body was removed via open cystotomy. In psychiatric patients hematuria and pelvic pain may result from insertion of a foreign body in the bladder usually during masturbation.

“…In adults, urethral self-insertion of a foreign body is usually done for erotic stimulation or is done by mentally retarded persons, intoxicated persons or people with psychiatric disorders. Curiosity and inquisitiveness are the main cause for urethral inserted foreign bodies in childhood [5]. Child abuse, autoaggression, psychiatric diseases, or attention-seeking must be carefully excluded.…”

Foreign body in the bladder mimicking nephritis

Cases of foreign bodies in the bladder self-inserted via urethra are not rare in childhood. Urinary tract infection, dysuria, lower abdominal pain, or haematuria with and without pain are common symptoms. We report on a 11-year-old boy with accidentally detected microscopic haematuria, proteinuria and leukocyturia. Because of increasing proteinuria up to 2330 mg/g creatinine and elevated antistreptolysin titre glomerulonephritis was suspected. However, some echogenic material was detected in the bladder by ultrasound. X-ray of the pelvis showed a 30 cm long tube projecting onto the bladder. The boy then admitted having had inserted a plastic tube into the urethra two years ago. The foreign body was removed cystoscopically. Four weeks after cystoscopy erythrocyturia, leucoyturia and proteinuria had disappeared. We state that symptoms of a local inflammation caused by a foreign body in the bladder can imitate the symptoms of nephritis.
