Abstract:
Vesico-enteric fistulas may develop between the bowel and urinary tract due to inflammatory disease of the bowel, neoplasm of either bowel or urinary tract and occasionally trauma. The fistula rarely, if ever, closes spontaneously. We experienced a case of vesico-enteric fistula developed in a 11 years old girl who had myelomeningocele accompanied with neurogenic bladder. Operation was delayed due to her poor hepatic function and urethral Foley catheter was indwelled for 4 weeks. Thereafter follow-up voiding cystogram showed no fistula and barium study of colon revealed nonspecific finding.
