- Abstract
A case of vesicocolonic ??stula secondary to a missed abdominal injury is described. ?e patient, a 25-year-old male Hausa, Nigerian, was involved in a road traffic accident and sustained head injury with a fractured le? femur and a missed blunt abdominal injury. He was referred to us about six months following the injury, on account of failure to micturate, recurrent passage of frequent watery stool, and recurrent fever and weight loss. A suspected diagnosis of intestinovesical ??stula was con??rmed on micturating cystography. He had a single stage repair of the vesico-colonic ??stula. ?e repair of urethrocutaneous ??stula was scheduled for a later date, which he later had. He was discharged but continued with orthopaedic consultation and management.
