A case of colovesical fistula in a 51-year-old male patient is described. The connection, between the base of the bladder and the rectosigmoid junction, was caused by an appendicitis in the tip of a pelvic appendix which had perforated into the bladder and rectosigmoid. There was no appendicovesical fistula connecting with the caecum.
