Case report.
OBJECTIVE
To present a rare but severe complication of intermittent catheterization.
METHODS
Paraplegic centre in Switzerland.
RESULTS
A 52-year-old man presenting with fever and septicaemia was diagnosed with a perineal abscess due to a bulbar urethral lesion caused by acute false passage during intermittent catheterization.
CONCLUSIONS
Especially in patients with a history of urethral strictures performing intermittent catheterization, the possibility of perineal abscess formation should be taken into account when treating such a patient with fever of unknown origin.
