title: Pyelovenous fistula: a rare cause of hematuria.
abstract: A 72-year-old female who was admitted to our urology clinic with painless intermittent macroscopic hematuria existing for 3 months with no other voiding symptom was diagnosed with left pyelovenous fistula. Although a rare condition, pyelovenous fistula should be kept in mind when the cause of macroscopic hematuria cannot be diagnosed with routine radiological examinations, and retrograde pyelography should be the method of choice for the diagnosis in this rare condition.
