Colovesical fistula as a complication of colonic diverticulosis: diagnosis with virtual colonoscopy

Turk J Gastroenterol. 2011 Feb;22(1):86-8. doi: 10.4318/tjg.2011.0163.

Abstract

A 65-year-old female patient admitted to our clinic with complaints of abdominal pain and watery diarrhea. She was diagnosed with colovesical fistula based on virtual colonoscopy findings. Since endoscopic and other radiological diagnostic tools were not able to establish a definite diagnosis, we found this case suitable for presentation.
