[Bilateral ureteroiliac fistula coincident with radiotherapy and ureteral splint].
Fistulas between the iliac artery and the ureter are uncommon. Overall, fewer than 20 cases have been described in the literature. We report the first bilateral case, in which there was an association with indwelling bilateral ureteral stents and a history of radiation therapy following hysterectomy performed because of malignancy. The patient presented with massive gross haematuria.
