Overview

A vesicointestinal fistula (or intestinovesical fistula) is a form of fistula between the bladder and the bowel.

Types

A fistula involving the bladder can have one of many specific names, describing the specific location of its outlet:

• bladder and intestine: "vesicoenteric", "enterovesical", or "vesicointestinal" GE)
• bladder and colon: "vesicocolic" or "colovesical" (Template:GPnotebook)
• bladder and rectum: "vesicorectal" or "rectovesical" (Template:DiseasesDB)

Symptoms/signs

If fecal matter passes through the fistula into the bladder, the existence of the fistula may be revealed by pneumaturia or fecaluria.
