    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Colo-vesical fistula is a rare complication, typically arising from complicated diverticular disease.
    • It often presents in older patients with advanced diverticular disease and associated inflammatory processes.

    Observation:

    • The primary issue originates in the colon, but symptoms manifest initially in the urinary bladder.
    • Recurrent, unexplained cystitis is a key presenting symptom, necessitating thorough investigation.

    Findings:

    • Diverticular disease is the most common cause of colo-vesical fistulas.
    • Initial symptoms can mimic primary urinary tract issues, delaying diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Prompt investigation of both the colon and urinary tract is essential when unexplained cystitis occurs.
    • Early surgical treatment of identified fistulas is recommended to prevent severe complications, including ascending urinary tract infections.
