Schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease widespread in tropical regions, is primarily caused by Schistosoma haematobium. Although rare in Western countries like France, it remains a major public health issue. Diagnosis relies on detecting the parasite's eggs in urine and bladder biopsies. Prevention involves awareness campaigns, annual treatment with praziquantel in high-prevalence areas, and treatment of infested waters. The case of a 17-year-old Senegalese girl presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was reported. Analyses revealed the presence of schistosomiasis eggs in her urine. After treatment with praziquantel and corticosteroids, she developed acute urinary retention requiring catheterization. Further examinations confirmed urogenital schistosomiasis, necessitating surgical intervention.
