ABSTRACT = {Urethral injuries are rare among the pediatric population,
and the majority occur after trauma. This is the case
of an eight-year-old female with complete proximal
urethral disruption and ruptured bladder neck without
pelvic fracture after a motor vehicle crash. After the
accident, her bladder neck was reapproximated and a suprapubic tube was placed. Three months later, she
underwent reconstruction for a bladder neck closure
and appendicovesicostomy. In managing these patients,
focus should first be directed at achieving a safe means
of urinary drainage, and next to repair the lower
urinary tract to maximize continence and minimize
complications.},
