Coloseminal vesicle fistula: report of a case and review of the literature

Dis Colon Rectum. 2006 Nov;49(11):1791-3. doi: 10.1007/s10350-006-0717-9.

Abstract

Despite their anatomic proximity, communication between the colorectum and seminal vesicle is an uncommon event. We describe the first reported case of a fistula between the colon and seminal vesicle as a complication of diverticulitis. This case report is followed by a literature review of other reported cases of fistula formation between the seminal vesicle and the colon.
