We describe the case of a 76-year-old woman with a spontaneous nephroduodenal fistula. The patient was initially evaluated for gastrointestinal and urinary symptoms associated with fever and anemia, after which she was admitted with the diagnosis of right chronic pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, and renal lithiasis. The fistula was diagnosed incidentally by percutaneous pyelography during a right nephrostomy and was later confirmed with an abdominal CT scan.

A peculiar case of intestinal occlusion caused by a renal stone in a patient with nephroduodenal fistula due to previous xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is reported. Only few cases of nephroduodenal fistula are described in the literature, generally as a single case report or in small series. A nephroduodenal fistula as a result of chronic renal inflammatory disease such as xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, is usually associated with renal stones, recurrent urinary tract infections or endocrine disorders.
