Vesicouterine fistulae are uncommon, with most units reporting 1–5 cases over 5–15‐year periods. To date there has been a paucity of case reports regarding this problem and only a few case series. In this report we outline the presentation and management of a vesicouterine fistula complicating a repeat Cesarean delivery, specifically describing the role of transvaginal ultrasound.
