Urethral foreign body is a rare condition, and while there are many possible reasons, it is generally caused by self-insertion of a foreign object into one's own urethra and requires emergency intervention. Sexual or erotic stimulation, trauma, medical interventions, and psychiatric problems may play a role in etiology. Radiological findings are important in order to obtain information about the foreign body and make accurate diagnosis, and treatment of this condition may require various instruments due to adjacent organ injury. Presently described is effort to determine possible causes of bladder gas, considered evidence of severe urological problem, and its association with urethral foreign body with a lumen. Treatment approaches to urethral foreign body as reported in the literature are also discussed.

“…A speculum exam should be performed to attempt to identify the fistula location and evaluate the integrity of the vaginal cuff. Concomitant ureterovaginal fistula can be found in up to 12% of women with vesicovaginal fistula . If cystoscopy is utilized, the surgeon should pay particular attention to fistula proximity to the ureteral orifices, bladder neck, or urethral sphincter, as well as tissue changes such as edema, induration, stones, and foreign material (mesh) …”

A wide variety of fistulae occur in the female pelvis, most of which cause significant morbidity. Diagnosis, characterization, and treatment planning may be difficult using traditional imaging modalities such as fluoroscopy and computed tomography. To date, there is no comprehensive literature review of the radiologic findings associated with various types of female pelvic fistulae, and furthermore, none dedicated to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this article, we seek to provide a broad overview of the MRI characteristics of female pelvic fistulizing disease in combination with epidemiologic and clinical characteristics. MRI is often considered the imaging modality of choice for evaluation of fistulae owing to its superior soft‐tissue contrast and ability to provide surgeons with the highest quality information derived from just one study, including anatomic location of fistulae and associated pelvic pathology. In other instances, MRI can be complementary to the more traditional imaging techniques. This review will describe the etiology, anatomy, MRI findings, and treatment pearls for several of the more common pelvic fistulae found in female patients, including anovaginal, rectovaginal, colovaginal, vesicovaginal, colovesical, and other complex fistulae.
