We present a 14 months old girl in whom knotted bladder catheter without urinary retention was observed. Catheter knot was successfuly untied with a guide wire under floroscopy control. We thought that a guide with stiff body and flexible tip make the procedure easier.
Özet
Mesane kateterizasyonunun nadir bir komplikasyonu olan kateter düğümlenmesi gelişen 14 aylık bir kız olgu sunulmaktadır. İdrar çıkışını engellemeyen kateter düğümü, floroskopi altında kılavuz tel yardımı ile açılarak kateter kolayca çıkarılabilmiştir. Kullanılan kılavuz telin ucunun bükülebilir, gövdesinin ise sert olmasının işlemi kolaylaştırdığı düşünülmüştür.
