A case of sigmoid-uterine fistula caused by sigmoidal diverticulitis

Abstract: A case of sigmoid-uterine fistula caused by sigmoidal diverticulitis is reported with some discussion from a review of the literature. A 78-year-old woman was seen at the hospital because of a left lower abdominal pain and stool from the vagina. There was a slight tenderness in the left lower abdomen, but no muscular defense was noted. On barium enema examination, multiple diverticula were found but a fistula was not found. Hysterosalpingography revealed a sigmoid-uterine fistula. The diagnosis of the sigmoid-uterine fistula was made and a one-stage radical surgery was performed. Colouterine fistula is rare and represents 0.8-5.4% of all fistulae caused by colonic diverticulitis. It is also stressed that this disease should be highlighted in Japan where colonic diverticular disease is gradually increasing.

The increased number of cesarean sections during the past years should also be considered. Two patients are presented. Symptoms, diagnostic and therapy are discussed.
