Anorectal malformations are a rare condition difficult to diagnose in the prenatal period. It can be suspected if distal bowel appears dilated in the first-trimester ultrasound or if intraluminal echogenic foci are detected during the second-trimester scan. We report a case with these ultrasound signs (dilated sigmoid at the first trimester and intraluminal echogenic calcifications at the second trimester), in which a vesicorectal fistula image was obtained. This is the first published prenatal image of a vesicorectal fistula.

Key Clinical Message: This case highlights the need for further research to explore a potential link between systemic sclerosis and fistula development, and the importance of raising awareness among clinicians about this possibility for timely appropriate management.
Abstract: The primary diagnosis in this case is systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) in a 47-year-old female patient with various clinical manifestations, including vesicovaginal and vesicorectal fistulas. The medical interventions and diagnostic workup involved an electrocardiogram, cardiac echocardiogram, pulmonary function tests, beta blockers, aspirin, inhaled corticosteroids, albuterol, endoscopy, biopsy, treatment for infection, fluconazole for candida esophagitis, endoscopic dilation for achalasia, anticholinergic therapy for mixed urinary incontinence, gabapentin for neuropathic symptoms, analgesia for knee pain, and psychiatric treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) is among the most common arterial shunt diseases typically found in middle aged or older men. Herein, we aimed to clarify the reasons for misdiagnoses and delayed diagnoses of SDAVF, determine how these affect prognoses, and establish how they can be prevented. We conducted a PubMed/MEDLINE literature search using "spinal dural arteriovenous fistula", "delayed diagnosis", "late diagnosis", and "misdiagnosis" terms.
