Abstract:

Vesicocutaneous fistula is a connection between urinary bladder and skin. It is a rare complication of urinary bladder calculi. We report a case of a 52-year-old man with bladder stones presented by vesicocutaneous fistula. The patient presented with multiple perineal openings that were draining urine continuously for eleven years. Fistulogram revealed that the perineal openings were connected to each other and to the bladder. Cystolithotomy was performed and fistulae tracts were left to close spontaneously. This is the fifth reported case of vesicocutaneous fistula secondary to bladder calculi worldwide, and the first case to appear in the perineum.
