According to the available information while inserting a urinary catheter into a child for a cystography, difficulty was encountered in passing the bladder sphincter, as the child was particularly under tension.The catheter balloon, which had been tested prior to insertion and found to be intact, was inflated without any apparent difficulty.When the mandrel was removed, unusual resistance was observed, associated with torsion of the catheter tip.The catheter was removed by exercising above-normal force.During the radiological examination, the radiologist noted that the catheter was not in place and that the balloon was inflated at the level of the urethra.The catheter was then removed in the radiology department.The incident led to the postponement of the patient's examination.
