Abstract
We report on a 10-year-old boy with recurrent urinary tract infection. Renal ultrasound demonstrated the presence of air in the collecting s ystem of the right kidney. The patient was examined radiologically and an enterorenal fistula was diagnosed. The case serves as a reminder t hat, although entero-renal fistulas are rare, they should be included in the differential diagnosis of recurrent urinary tract infections, e specially if air is observed in the collecting system.
