Abstract:
We report a case of vesico-sigmoido-appendiceal fistula from unknown origin in a 29 years old female who was presented with the chief complaints of fecaluria and bladder irritation symptoms The diagnostic procedure such as excretory urography, cystography, barium enema, cystoscopy and proctoscopy were performed, and the vesico-recto-appendiceal or vesico-sigmoido-appendiceal fistula was suspected. On operation, the tip of appendix was communicated with the sigmoid fistulous tract and opened into the bladder in a common pathway. The patient underwent appendectomy, sigmoid fistulectomy, and partial cystectomy and the postoperative course was uneventful.
