Article Abstract
We report a rare case of nephrocolic fistula in a 56-year-old female presenting with a three-month history of altered bowel habits. Initial colonoscopy revealed a sinus tract in the descending colon. Her hemoglobin was 79 g/L, and she had a history of nephrolithiasis and trauma. Further imaging, including CT and contrast studies, confirmed a nephrocolic fistula. Surgical intervention involved left hemicolectomy, excision of the fistula tract, and renal repair. This case highlights the importance of considering nephrocolic fistula in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms and a history of urinary tract pathology.

BACKGROUND Nephro-colic fistulas are uncommon, generally caused by local inflammation, trauma, or neoplasia affecting the kidney or the colon. Their association with a coralliform stone is described in a few case reports, but their management is difficult and differs quite a lot, depending on the clinical situation. We report an atypical clinical case of a reno-colic fistula associated with a staghorn calculus.

Here, we present a unique case of a woman with recurrent pyelonephritis, severe anemia, and unintended weight loss, who was eventually diagnosed with a colo-renal fistula. Delayed imaging following intraoperative fluoroscopy revealed the abnormal connection between the colon and upper urinary tract.

Fistula formation between the kidney, colon and the skin is an extremely rare complication arising from renal infections secondary to renal stone formation. During the 1980s, reports of nephrocolic fistulas, with or without involvement of the skin, were commonly caused by genitourinary tuberculosis. Due to improvements in diagnosis and specifically the development of anti-Koch's therapy, the incidence of nephrocolic or nephrocolocutaneous fistulas has become uncommon especially in developed countries.

Case Presentation: Interventional radiologist should be careful especially in patients with repeated ablation.
