| Abstract: | Salpingitis and vesicular fistulas are rare complications of Crohn's disease. In this report the authors describe a case of oophorovesicular-colonic fistula secondary to Crohn's disease. The patient presented with bleeding from the bladder during menstruation, fecaluria and pneumaturia. A single-stage left salpingo-oophorectomy, sigmoid resection and repair of the fistula were carried out, with complete resolution of symptoms and preservation of fertility potential. |
