title: Preoperative evaluation of enterovesical fistula using magnetic resonance imaging: case report.
abstract: We report a case of sigmoido-vesical fistula due to sigmoid diverticulitis. Magnetic resonance imaging enabled us to visualize the fistula itself in the bladder wall. Magnetic resonance imaging was highly effective in making a precise diagnosis and also provided important additional information for the preoperative work-up of the patient.
