Despite advances in imaging and treatment the diagnosis may be delayed and the management remains diverse. We describe our experience with their diagnosis and management.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Patients and methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> This retrospective study encompassed all patients referred over a 10\u2010year period with clinical suspicion of or confirmed enterovesical fistula. Demographics, clinical presentation, aetiology and clinical outcome were evaluated. Mean follow\u2010up was 18\u2003months (range 6\u201350\u2003months).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Thirty patients were studied. The mean age was 63.5\u2003years (range 23\u201392\u2003years). Fifteen (50%) patients presented with classical urinary symptoms (pneumaturia, faecaluria and recurrent urinary tract infections). The commonest investigations (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>, % positive) included CT (15, 80), cystoscopy (16, 87.5), endoscopy (11, 54.5) and barium enema (8, 50). There were 20 inflammatory and 10 neoplastic aetiologies. Five patients were treated conservatively and 25 patients underwent surgery. Surgery resulted in symptomatic cure in the majority of cases (22\/25).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Classical urinary symptoms were only evident in 50% of patients with confirmed fistulae. We advocate CT scanning as the optimum imaging modality before surgical intervention. Surgical treatment in a specialized unit remains the most effective treatment of enterovesical fistulae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1463-1318.2005.00786.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,27]],"date-time":"2005-04-27T08:30:47Z","timestamp":1114590647000},"page":"286-291","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Diagnosis and treatment of enterovesical fistulae"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"D.","family":"Kavanagh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Neary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.
