Appendico-vesical fistula. A new case and a brief review of the literature.
A new case of appendico-vesical fistula is submitted. After a brief review of the literature, it is concluded that these fistulas usually manifest themselves clinically in recurrent urinary infections without gastro-intestinal symptoms. The best aids in the difficult diagnosis are cystography and cystoscopy. Treatment is by appendectomy and excision of the fistular opening.
