    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Ureteroduodenal fistula is an uncommon condition characterized by an abnormal connection between the ureter and the duodenum.
    • Symptoms can be non-specific, including flank pain and fever, potentially mimicking other renal or gastrointestinal pathologies.

    Observation:

    • A 73-year-old male patient presented with acute right flank pain and fever.
    • Diagnostic evaluation, including intravenous pyelography, confirmed the presence of a ureteroduodenal fistula.

    Findings:

    • The patient underwent surgical intervention, involving excision of the fistula and a nephroureterectomy.
    • This case represents the eighth documented instance of a ureteroduodenal fistula in medical literature.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare fistulous tracts in the differential diagnosis of flank pain and fever.
    • Successful surgical management underscores the viability of intervention for this rare condition.
    • Further reporting of such cases is crucial for understanding the etiology and optimizing treatment strategies.
