Abstract
Uterocutaneous fistula, although not exceptional, is a very rare clinical entity. It occurs most often after uterine or pelvic surgery. We report a case of Uterocutaneous fistula which was formed following lower segment caesarean section. MRI was helpful in the diagnosis and was treated successfully with hysterectomy. This report aims to remind practicing clinicians about this rare complication of caesarean section and discuss our experience with its management.
