Abstract

Enterovesical fistula is a relatively rare disease and usually caused by primary intestinal disease (diverticulitis, colon cancer and inflammatory bowel disease including Crohn's disease etc.). We experienced a rare case of ileocolovesical fistula caused by Crohn's disease. The 34 year old man had had chronic dysuria, lower abdominal pain and turbid urine for 3 years. Contrast studies including cystography, small bowel series, barium enema and abdominal Of showed ileocolovesical fistula. Small bowel segmental resection, Hartmann's colostomy and suprapubic cystostomy were performed. Histological examination of operative specimen showed a granulomatous inflammation caused by Crohn's disease. Our case suggests that Crohn's disease may be a rare cause of enterovesicalfistula in Korean.
