Abstract
We report the management of a nephroenteric fistula with percutaneous fulgu ration in a patient with recurrent pyelonephritis and urolithiasis. A nephr ostogram at 6 weeks and retrograde pyelogram at 18 weeks after fulguration showed no evidence of a recurrent fistula. We believe this to be the first reported case of a nephroenteric fistula treated successfully with fulgurat ion.
