Neurogenic bladder decompressing via a spontaneous colovesical fistula--a case report.

A 3-year-old girl with operated meningomyelocele and urinary incontinence presented with recurrent attacks of watery diarrhea and anuria, which were relieved by urethral catheterization. Investigations revealed a poorly compliant neurogenic bladder that periodically decompressed via a spontaneously developed colovesical fistula. The fistula was repaired with concomitant bladder augmentation. To our knowledge, this is the only report of such a complication from neurogenic bladder in childhood.
