Abstract
Urethral injury after blunt pelvic trauma is rare in women. We report a case of urethral injury and vaginal laceration secondary to blunt pelvic trauma. Pelvic examination should be performed in any female patient who has sustained blunt pelvic trauma to avoid the morbidity associated with delayed diagnosis of urethral injury.
