Although there is a complete anatomical separation between urinary and digestive tract, in certain pathological conditions, the direct proximity between the bladder and the sigmoid colon allows the development of entero-vesical fistulas. Colic diverticulosis is the second leading cause of entero-vesical fistulas, after malignancy. Usually, the enterovesical fistula is unique, on a single bowel segment; rarely is multiple, involving different intestinal segments. We present the case of a 41 years old man, with a double fistula: sigmoido-vesical and recto-vesical, respectively. The diagnosis was challenging despite the clinical aspect included pneumaturia and fecaluria. A particular symptom was sexual dysfunction.
