Abstract
Enterourachal fistulas are exceedingly rare in Crohn's patients. We report a case of a presumed enterourachal fistula that led to an infected urachal cyst. Preoperative medical treatment obliterated the fistula and avoided the need to resect bowel at the time of operation. We recommend consideration of this diagnosis in a Crohn's patient with a midline abdominal mass.
