An association of purple urine bag syndrome with intussusception

Rekha Neelakanta Pillai et al. Urology. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

We report a case of an elderly lady with a long-term suprapubic catheter who developed purple discoloration of urine around the same time as she developed intussusception. Purple urine bag syndrome is a benign condition known to be associated with intestinal stasis. However, this association with intussusception should be kept in mind before the patient is reassured.
