One of the rarest complications of bladder Foley catheter insertion is knotting of the catheter. We present a case of Foley entrapment secondary to formation of a true knot at the proximal end of the catheter in a 6‐month‐old female infant who was referred to our center for voiding cystourethrograthy. Sonography of the bladder revealed the knotted catheter in the urinary bladder. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2009
