Persistent leucocyturia in 17-year-old boy as the first manifestation of Crohn’s disease
Enterovesical fistulae are relatively rare in Crohn’s disease. We report a unique case of a 17 years old boy with an enterovesical fistula occurring as the first manifestation of disease. This case points out the need to be aware of the rare but important occurrence of Crohn’s enterovesical fistula as a cause for urinary symptoms in a child with inadequate weight gain.
