Ileovesical fistula: a rare complication of ileal diverticulitis.
Small bowel diverticulitis is an unusual condition but the development of a secondary enterovesical fistula is extremely rare. This report describes the second documented case of ileovesical fistula secondary to ileal diverticulitis. Definitive diagnosis was made by double-contrast enema and small bowel fluoroscopic examinations. Management should consist of dissection of the fistula with either resection or primary repair.
