Fistulas between the large bowel and the prostatic urethra, due to Crohn's disease, are very uncommon. Pneumaturia and an abnormal urethral discharge are the most common symptoms. Diagnosis is made by a voiding cystourethrogram or a retrograde urethrography. Treatment is usually difficult with a high percentage of recurrence. A well documented case is presented.
