Urol Int. 2014;92(2):250-2. doi: 10.1159/000353351. Epub 2014 Jan 21.

Abstract

We report on a 32-year-old man with a history of chronic lower abdominal pain and urogenital symptoms, leading to the diagnosis of coloseminal fistula complicating diverticular disease. We reviewed the literature on this rare clinical entity and would like to stress the role of pelvic imaging with rectal contrast to investigate complicated forms of diverticular disease.
