The demonstration of a recto‐vaginal fistula in a patient with Crohn's disease is described. The patient was examined by vaginal ultrasound using the contrast medium Echovist‐200 (SHU 454, Schering AG, Berlin). This agent had not been used before under these circumstances and proved to be successful.
