AB - To our knowledge, there are no reported cases of rectal fistula complicating spondylodiscitis. We report the first case of a rectal
fistula communicating with the site of postoperative recurrent spondylodiscitis. A-59-year-old female had recurrent spondylodiscitis
after an open discectomy for L5-S1 eight years earlier. She underwent three operations including two anterior lumbar
interbody fusion procedures after an open discectomy. Radiographic studies revealed severe bony destruction with abscess collection
within the L5-S1 intervertebral disc space with fistula formation into the rectum. The fistula was confirmed by a Barium
enema colon study and sigmoidscopy. The patient underwent a staged operation consisting of a rectosigmoid colon resection,
anterior interbody fusion and posterior instrumented fusion. Rectum related complications were suspected in this case of recurrent
spondylodiscitis.
