    Nephro-intestinal fistulas connect the GI tract and kidney. This case details a rare left reno-colic fistula from infected kidney stones, successfully treated with surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Nephro-intestinal fistulas are abnormal connections between the gastrointestinal tract and the renal or pyelocalyceal system.
    • Causes can be urologic or digestive, with diverse anatomical locations.
    • Reno-colic fistulas, though uncommon, represent a significant subset of these conditions.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of a left reno-colic fistula is presented.
    • The fistula was secondary to lithiasic pyonephrosis (kidney infection due to stones).
    • The patient presented with sepsis, indicating a severe systemic infection.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis was confirmed using retrograde pyelography, a specialized imaging technique.
    • The underlying cause was identified as infected kidney stones leading to pyonephrosis.

  • Surgical intervention was required for definitive treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering nephro-intestinal fistulas in patients with sepsis and urinary or gastrointestinal symptoms.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
    • Understanding the etiology, such as lithiasic pyonephrosis, is key to effective treatment strategies.
