A '''vesicointestinal fistula''' (or '''intestinovesical fistula''') is a form of [[fistula]] between the [[Urinary bladder|bladder]] and the [[bowel]].
==Types==
A fistula involving the bladder can have one of many specific names, describing the specific location of its outlet:
* bladder and [[intestine]]: "vesicoenteric", "enterovesical", or "vesicointestinal" ({{MerckGeriatrics|14|118|f}}, {{MerckHome|11|149|c}}, [http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/library/topics/volume_iv_2/f/fistula_enterovesical.aspx GE])
* bladder and [[Colon (anatomy)|colon]]: "vesicocolic" or "colovesical" ({{GPnotebook|1309016087}})
* bladder and [[rectum]]: "vesicorectal" or "rectovesical" ({{DiseasesDB|11193}})
==Symptoms/signs==
If fecal matter passes through the fistula into the bladder, the existence of the fistula may be revealed by [[pneumaturia]] or [[fecaluria]].
