Enterovesical fistula in a patient with cryptosporidiosis and AIDS. CT demonstration.
A case of an enterovesical fistula demonstrated by computed tomography (CT) scan in an AIDS patient with cryptosporidiosis is reported. Other studies including barium enema and endoscopy were unsuccessful in detection of the fistula. The value of CT in both the AIDS patient and the patient with suspected enterovesical fistula is reviewed.
