Introduction Colovesical fistula is the pathological communication between the colon and urinary bladder. It is related with high morbimortality rate and it is and uncommon complication of diverticulosis in young adults. Case presentation We report a case of a 38-year-old Brazilian man with fecaluria and pneumaturia for eight months, whose colovesical fistula was undetectable in CT scan and with surgical management. Discussion Diverticulosis is the main inflammatory condition causing colovesical fistulas and the sigmoid colon is the most common part involved. It is more prevalent in patients over 60 years old and in western countries due to low fiber diet. Conclusion Colovesical fistula diagnosis is difficult, requiring high suspicious and proper investigation through good anamnesis, CT scan and also colonoscopy and cystoscopy when necessary.

Diverticular disease is the most common morphological abnormality of the colon. It is increasing in prevalence proportionally to progressive aging and modern alimentary diet. The majority of the diverticular disease affects the sigmoid colon and the segmental inflammatory process can have different outcomes, from self-limited, low-grade inflammation to severe cases evolving to complications such as abscess, fistulas to different organs, free perforation and peritonitis, sepsis, intestinal obstruction, and hemorrhage. In this chapter, we will focus on a few of these complications—focal low-grade inflammation, intra-abdominal abscess, and fistulas.

Recurrent urinary tract infection due to enterovesical fistula secondary to colon diverticular disease: a case report

Abstract: Despite being an unusual affection, recurrent urinary tract infection associated with colon diverticular disease must always be considered at differential diagnosis of recurrent urinary tract infection as it concurs with high morbidity and mortality.
