Intramural bladder-wall abscesses are serious but rather rare. In the few reported cases, their aetiology has not been explicitly explained. In our case, we found a traumatic outcome induced by a urethrocystoscopy that had taken place 4 years prior to the diagnosis of abscess. To date, there has not been much published on these bladder-wall abscesses or urinary tract infections from urethrocystoscopies and Burkholderia cepacia bacteria. As a result, their pathogenesis and aetiology have not been fully explained. In this paper we report on the clinical as well as the subjective well-being of a female child who was diagnosed with a massive full-blown intramural bladder-wall abscess that developed 4 years after she had undergone a urethrocystoscopy.
