A patient with pneumaturia was found to have a ureteroduodenal fistula, only the fourth such lesion reported.

This case was namaged with a distal skin ureterostomy, thereby avoiding extremely hazardous surgery in the area of the duodenum. This successful conservative managemant offers a sharp contrast to the recommended management of reno-alimentary fistulas. The possible cause in this case based on roentgenographic analysis is discussed.

If the intestinal process leads to a disease of the ureter, urological pathology is mostly limited to urographic findings; symptoms are circumscribed. However, the ureteric wall is usually already irreparably damaged.
