Colovesical fistula is a recognized condition, most commonly due to diverticular disease. However, traumatic injuries, especially those involving foreign bodies, present a unique etiological factor requiring prompt intervention. We document the first case of a caecovesical fistula caused by foreign body due to perianal injury highlighting the importance of being vigilant in trauma patients with chronic unexplained lower urinary tract symptoms.
