An unusual case of rectovaginal fistula is reported. An 81 year old woman presented to the geriatric team with a request to review her faecal incontinence. It was discovered that she had a predilection for placing foreign objects in her vagina. In this instance a carbonated drink top had formed a rectovaginal fistula.
