Misplacement of a urinary catheter in the ureter is a rare phenomenon. The described cases occurred in patients with neurogenic bladder. We describe an unusual case of 58 years old female where the Foley catheter was unintentionally placed in the left ureter. The patient developed sepsis due to complete obstruction of the left ureter treated with antibiotic therapy after repositioning the catheter.
