Retained intravesical catheters in a patient with spinal cord injury performing clean intermittent self-catheterization: A case report

In CISC users with persistent lower urinary tract symptoms despite empiric UTI management and negative first-line imaging, intravesical foreign bodies should be considered. Early non-contrast CT can clarify radiolucent or atypical etiologies and expedite definitive cystoscopic treatment. Prevention should pair ergonomic catheter selection (<i>e.g.</i> flared or handled designs as tolerated) with structured skills refreshers during routine SCI follow-up; caregiver participation can be included when appropriate.
