Description
A 65-year-old man had a history of acute urinary retention for which suprapubic catheterisation (SPC) was performed, following failed attempts at per urethral catheterisation by a local practitioner 3 months previously. He also had a history of hesitancy and intermittency for the past 1 year. He now presented with maggots discharging from the SPC site (figures 1 and 2).
