title: Nephroenteric fistula treated with fulguration of the fistulous tract.
abstract: We report the management of a nephroenteric fistula with percutaneous fulguration in a patient with recurrent pyelonephritis and urolithiasis. A nephrostogram at 6 weeks and retrograde pyelogram at 18 weeks after fulguration showed no evidence of a recurrent fistula. We believe this to be the first reported case of a nephroenteric fistula treated successfully with fulguration.
