“…Arterio‐ureteric fistula is a rare condition with less than 40 cases reported since it was first described in 1939 ( Taylor & Reinhardt 1939). These fistulae are associated with previous ureteric stents and carry a high mortality ( Ahlbom, Birkhoff & Nowygrod 1986).…”

Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is a rare, often fatal, systemic infection found predominantly in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of gastrointestinal mucormycosis in a 53-year-old female with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Following her first course of chemotherapy, bowel obstruction developed as a result of mucormycosis. Despite treatment with antifungal therapy, she required a laparotomy owing to severe haemorrhage caused by mucormycosal invasion of her iliac artery. With continued antifungal treatment and further chemotherapy, she ultimately underwent reversal of her Hartmann's procedure and remains disease-free.

“…Flank pain resembles colic and may be related t o ureteric obstruction or leakage of the aneurysm. Haematuria is usually due t o erosion and fistula f o r m ation from mycotic or traumatic aneurysms (Taylor and Reinhart, 1939;Rennick et al, 1976). Urinary tract infections have been reported related t o obstruction.…”

Ureteric Obstruction of Solitary Kidneys by Aneurysms of the Iliac Artery

Two rare cases are reported, both known to have solitary kidneys, that had ureteric obstruction caused by iliac artery aneurysms. Iliac aneurysms have a high mortality and may present to the urologist as an uncommon cause of ureteric obstruction. When the ureter of a solitary kidney is obstructed it is recommended that both ureterolysis and a temporary proximal diversion be performed. A common iliac aneurysm should be excised and grafted where possible; an internal iliac aneurysm is best treated by simple ligation or partial excision only.

“…So verwundert es nicht, dass Patienten nach Operation eines Harnblasenkarzinoms mit Ersatz durch Ileumkonduit eine der Risikogruppen für die Ausbildung einer Fistel darstellen. Die ersten publizierten Patienten mit iliakoureteraler Fistel bekamen einen ureteralen Stent aufgrund einer Harnleiterobstruktion [14,23,52]. In allen drei Fällen handelte es sich um schwangere Frauen, deren Ureterstents 24, 34 und 75 Tage lagen.…”

Arterio-ureteral fistulas are rare. A life-threatening complication is severe hemorrhage. More than 50 per cent of the cases were reported during the last ten years. The predisposing causes mainly are operations of malignomas of the kidney and the efferent urinary tract as well as gynecological neoplasias with or without irradiation. Stenting of the ureter or reconstructive vascular surgery may also cause arterio-ureteral fistulas. Because of the intermittent symptomatology diagnosis may be very difficult. Therapy and prognosis for life as well as for organ failure depend on pretherapeutic examination. In former times surgical repair was the therapy of choice. With the introduction of interventional techniques morbidity and mortality decreased significantly. During the last five years three patients with iliac-ureteral fistulas were treated in our department. In two cases the fistulas was excluded by covered stent grafts, in one case coiling alone of the internal iliac artery was successful. Reviewing the literature and our experience with arterio-ureteral fistula angiography is recommended for diagnostics. Covered iliac stent grafts are the therapeutic option of choice. The leakage of the ureter needs not to be repaired mandatoryly.
