Urocolpos is a urine collection in the vagina, possibly due to vesicovaginal reflux (VVR) or a fistula. Urocolpos is a rare phenomenon in adults, and it is commonly underrecognized by radiologists. The occurrence of urocolpos due to VVR after a Caesarean section in adult females is a rare phenomenon; failure to recognize it may lead to misdiagnosis as vesicovaginal fistula and often leads to unnecessary medical interventions. We report a 37-year-old female who complained of abdominal pain and intermittent daytime urinary incontinence for six months, starting after a Caesarean section for her third baby. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a large fluid-filled vagina on a full bladder without anatomical abnormality. A post-voiding scan showed a complete resolution. In conclusion, urocolpos is an underrecognized entity that rarely coexists with VVR. Post-voiding resolution and vaginal contrast reflux are important findings that can aid radiologists in identifying such cases.
