Vesicointestinal fistula

A vesicointestinal fistula (or intestinovesical fistula) is a form of fistula between the bladder and the bowel.

Types

A fistula involving the bladder can have one of many specific names, describing the specific location of its outlet:

bladder and intestine: "vesicoenteric", "enterovesical", or "vesicointestinal" (Merck Geriatrics 14-118f, 11-149c. at Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy Home Edition, GE)
bladder and colon: "vesicocolic" or "colovesical" (1309016087 at GPnotebook)
bladder and rectum: "vesicorectal" or "rectovesical" (DDB 11193)

If fecal matter passes through the fistula into the bladder, the existence of the fistula may be revealed by pneumaturia or fecaluria.
