Pelvic fistulas may result from obstetric complications, inflammatory bower disease, pelvic malignancy, pelvic radiation therapy, pelvic surgery, or o ther traumatic causes, and their symptoms may be distressing.

Because of its close proximity, the majority of such fis tulas occur in the pelvic cavity and include the vesicovaginal, vesicouteri ne, vesicoenteric, ureterovaginal, ureteroenteric and enterovaginal type. T he purpose of this article is to illustrate the spectrum of imaging feature s of pelvic fistulas.
