    An 8-year-old girl presented with dysuria and urinary urgency, leading to the diagnosis of VVR after imaging studies.

    Ultrasound and MRI revealed a cystic fluid signal in the vagina that resolved after urination, indicating bladder-vaginal reflux.

    VVR is often underrecognized and can be mistaken for anatomical abnormalities, necessitating careful diagnostic evaluation.

    Treatment for VVR focuses on behavioral therapy, including proper voiding posture and toileting habits, along with weight management.
