The case report presents a twenty-nine year old man diagnosed with a rare urological complication of Crohn´s disease. An enteroureteral fistula was found originating from the terminal ileum, crossing the retroperitoneum from the right to the left, and running into the lumen of the left ureter. This condition was clinically manifested by nephralgia on the left side and dysuric problems with leucocyturia. No signs of pneumaturia or faecaluria were present. Characteristic symptoms of Crohn´s disease such as diarrhoea, subfebrile states or abdominal pain were not present. The condition was successfully treated by surgery.
