Utero-cutaneous fistula is a rare condition after operation especially cesarean section and could be misdiagnosed at the beginning. We searched the articles on Pubmed from 1974-2019 and did the review including their clinical history, diagnosis tool and management. A 50-year-old female with a history of ovarian borderline serous borderline tumor received a complete debulking surgery. Then, she was conceived with twin pregnancy via artificial fertilization and underwent cesarean section due to malpresentation & severe preeclampsia during pregnancy 35+3 weeks. She complained of swelling and erythematous change over the surgical scar. The utero-cutaneous fistula was suspected of wound debridement and was proved by a fistulogram. Owing to complete staging and infection control, she then received a total abdominal hysterectomy and fistula resection. Late onset of symptoms after previous event included septic abortion and previous surgery is the usual reason for misdiagnosis. Diagnosis by MRI provided good soft tissue resolution, avoids radiation, and helps in proper delineation of the fistulous tract and its relation to the surrounding viscera. Management is not limited to operation alone and could depend on patient age, fertility consideration and local facilities to create the best benefit for the patient. |
