Colovaginal fistula secondary to diverticular disease. A report of two cases.
J Reprod Med. 1993 Nov; 38(11):905-6.JR

Abstract

Two cases of diverticular abscess presented with abdominal pain, pelvic mass and vaginal discharge. Both patients had previously undergone hysterectomy. Although relatively rare, colovaginal fistula secondary to diverticular disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis in an elderly woman with similar symptoms.
