We report an 11 year old male patient with the history of imperforate anus, which was repaired surgically 4 years ago. He has been complaining of intermittent passing of urine into the rectum recently. The vesicorectal fistula in this patient was proven by imaging of the fecal matter post direct radionuclide cystography study. Our case showed that nuclear medicine imaging can be extended to unanimated objects such as patients' excrements or fluids with important diagnostic yields.
我们报告一名11岁男性患者,有肛门闭锁病史,4年前接受了手术修复。他最近一直抱怨尿液间歇性地进入直肠。通过直接放射性核素膀胱造影研究后粪便的影像学检查证实了该患者存在膀胱直肠瘘。我们的病例表明,核医学成像可以扩展到无生命的物体,如患者的排泄物或液体,具有重要的诊断价值。
