Abstract:
A fistulous communication between the kidney and the colon is rare. The underlying cause is usually a pyonephrotic kidney which becomes adherent to a portion of the colon and then ruptures spontaneously, thus creating a fistula. We present a case of tuberculous renocolonic fistula which occurred in a 7-year-old boy with review of the literature.
