    • The primary symptom is recurrent acute cystitis.
    • It is more common in younger individuals.
    • Absence of pneumaturia and fecaluria differentiates it from other entero-vesical fistulas.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention involving appendectomy and fistula excision is the standard treatment.
    • This approach generally results in complete patient recovery.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for effective management.
    • Understanding this condition improves patient outcomes and surgical planning.
