First Case of Enterovesical Fistula Caused by Ischaemic Enteritis.

We present the case of an enterovesical fistula (EVF) caused by ischemic enteritis. Ischemic enteritis is caused either by mesenteric macrovasculature occlusion or any pathophysiologic vasospasm of the microvasculature. In other words, ischemic enteritis (IE) occurs when the inflow of blood to the small intestines is reduced. The frequency of ischemic enteritis is less as compared to ischemic colitis because of the vast blood supply to the small intestine. It is the first case to be reported in the medical literature to date. EVF is a rare entity. It is a pathological connection between the bowel loops and the urinary bladder. EVF is a result of an underlying disease or injury. EVF is mostly caused by diverticular diseases, carcinoma colon, Crohn's, and inflammatory bowel disease, iatrogenic, appendicitis, carcinoma cervix, etc. Due to the formation of this abnormal connection, contents of the intestines, including the air, food content, etc., are usually found in the urine. Patients usually present with the complaint of irritative urinary tract symptoms and recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). Surgical management is the mainstay of treatment although medical management is tried for those who cannot bear to undergo surgery.
