“…EVf can be caused by embriological abnormalities, infections, inflammatory bowel diseases, tumours, trauma and iatrogenic lesions [3]. The most frequent cause is the diverticular disease (Dd), 2/3 of total cases [4][5][6][7] and about 2-4% of patient with Dd have an EVf [5][6][7][8][9][10] ,after surgical treatment this percentage increases to 20% [9]. In neoplasia EVf can be caused by the primitive tumour usually from the bowel tract and rarely from the urinary tract or can be caused after radiotherapy [11][12][13] .…”

Entero-vesical fistulae (EVf) occurs rarely but it is a serious clinical condition often correlated with other pathologies. It accounts for 1 to 3000 hospital accesses/year. We present a patient with a sigmoid-vesical fistulae caused by the accidental ingestion of a wood skewer two years before. In literature about 6,09 % of accesses in the first aid area(FAa) are due to the ingestion of foreign bodies(FBs) but in 80-90% of them they are expelled with stools. In frequently FBs in the lower gastrointestinal tract can be the result of an orally ingested sharp object that becomes impacted. The management of this case was multidisciplinary, and the correction was a laparoscopic one time approach.

“…Diverticulae most often arise in the sigmoid colon but may also be seen in all colonic segments [1,2]. The primary process is thought to be the erosion of the diverticular wall by increased intraluminal pressure or inspissated food particles [1,2].…”

“…The inflammation is frequently mild, and a small perforation is walled off by pericolic fat and mesentery [2]. This may lead to a localized abscess or, if adjacent organs are involved, a fistula or obstruction 2 in comparison to the poor containment results in free perforation and peritonitis [2].…”

we report a case of a 75 years old male diagnosed on 2006 with a low rectal cancer and operated with an abdominoperineal resection procedure at that time. Since then, he was doing fine with his end colostomy until 29/07/2011, when he was presented with stoma site redness, pain, tenderness and fever with loose stool; the CT scan showed a distal colon and stoma diverticulitis and abscess lateral to stoma; the patient was managed with drainage, soft diet and antibiotic till it resolved and he was discharged home in a healthy condition.
