Congenital vesicovaginal fistula is very rare and only five cases have been reported so far. This is a report on a case of congenital vesicovaginal fistula in a three-year-old girl. Vesicovaginal fistula was confirmed by cystoscopy and colposcopy. Roentgen examinations, including IVP, CG and CT revealed a left hypoplastic kidney, left ectopic ureteric orifice and left vesicoureteral reflux. Under general anesthesia, the fistula was resected and closed transvesically, and ureterocystoneostomy was performed. Five out of the six cases of congenital vesicovaginal fistula reported worldwide had other congenital complications of the genitourinary system, but the etiology of this anomaly is still unknown.
