    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of acute abdomen arising from an underlying urological condition. METHODS/RESULTS: Herein we describe a patient with acute abdomen arising from a pyonephrotic kidney with fistulization to the peritoneal cavity. The clinical manifestations disappeared following nephrectomy by the anterior approach and drainage of the intraperitoneal cavity. CONCLUSION: Although infrequent, it should be taken into account that peritoneal abscess and/or pyonephrosis can cause acute abdomen when they fistulize to the peritoneal cavity.
