Misplaced Foley catheter in ureter in a female with neurogenic bladder: a rare complication report

Accidental placement of Foley catheter in ureter is a rare phenomenon. It is more common in females with neurogenic bladder who have hypocontractile bladder or there can be iatrogenic placement during surgical procedures. We describe a case of a female suffering from upper motor neuronal lesion due to trauma at T8 level (American Spinal Injury grade A) following which she developed neurogenic bladder. A Foley catheter was unintentionally placed in the ureter and subsequently removed through a novel technique of percutaneous ultrasound-guided balloon puncture. It is not only imperative to diagnose and manage such an aberrant Foley catheter placement but also more importantly proper steps must be taken to prevent such a complication from occurring in these patients.
