    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Appendico-vesical fistula is a rare condition involving an abnormal connection between the appendix and the urinary bladder.
    • Understanding its incidence and clinical presentation is crucial for improved patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of appendico-vesical fistula are presented, with one demonstrating spontaneous healing via appendiceal fibrosis.
    • Clinical features are discussed, highlighting the diagnostic difficulties associated with this condition.

    Findings:

    • The average diagnostic delay for appendico-vesical fistula spans several years.
    • Accurate diagnosis is often missed, and spontaneous resolution is a possibility in some cases.

    Implications:

    • The actual incidence of appendico-vesical fistula may be higher than currently reported in medical literature.
    • Increased awareness and diagnostic vigilance are necessary for this condition, which may be underdiagnosed.
