  • Title: Spontaneous vesicorectal fistula: a rare complication of neurogenic bladder.
    Author: Fang W, Xu L, Sun J, Corcos J, Li J.
    Journal: BMC Urol; 2020 Feb 24; 20(1):18. PubMed ID: 32093659.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: We report a rare case of spontaneous vesicorectal fistula. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old female spina bifida patient who complained of fecal and urinary incontinence was eventually diagnosed with a spontaneous vesicorectal fistula. We hypothesized that infection, neurogenic bowel and neurogenic bladder caused her vesicorectal fistula. The patient refused the operation, and she is currently in a delicate balance. CONCLUSIONS: Early repair of the fistula is necessary. The treatment of neurogenic bladder after fistula repair is difficult and deserves further observation and follow-up.
