Abstract
Three patients with renocolic fistulas are presented. Antegrade or ret rograde pyelography showed the fistula in one patient but was unsucces sful in two others. CT demonstrated perinephric inflammation extending to the colon, complex air-fluid collections within the kidney, or ext ension of renal contrast into the colon. CT and direct pyelography com plement each other for the diagnosis of renocolic fistulas.
