    AbstractThis case report describes a sigmoid diverticulitis with torpid development, long-term symptoms of bladder irritability, and an emphysematous epididymitis caused by a direct seminal vesicle fistula. The diagnosis was suggested by scrotal ultrasound visualizing gas in the scrotum; the complex pelvic fistulous tract was specifically delineated by multislice computed tomography. This may be the first reported case of seminal vesicle fistula directly related to colonic diverticulitis and causing emphysematous epididymitis.
