CT demonstration of fistulae in patients with gynecologic neoplasms.
Ten women treated for gynecologic neoplasms (8 cervical carcinomas, one vaginal and one endometrial carcinoma) were found at computed tomography (CT) to have a fistula although only 5 patients had symptoms that could be related to a fistula. Five women had vesico-vaginal fistulae, 2 recto-vaginal, 2 entero-cervical and one a vulvo-pubical fistula. We regard CT as the radiologic method of choice in diagnosing gynecologic fistulae.
