ABSTRACT: We reported a case of an
intravesical foreign body in a 16 years old teenager for abortion attempt.
During laparotomy for suspected pelvic appendicitis, we incidentally discovered
an intravesical foreign body. From this first observation in our urology
division, we reviewed the literature on the nature and circumstance of self
introduction in bladder of foreign body and their surgical ablation. We emphasized
the importance of endoscopy as a support of diagnosis and therapeutic of
intravesical foreign body. This observation also highlighted the lack of
information in our teenagers about reproductive and sexual health.
