Iliocovesical fistulas are infrequent complications of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). We report the case of a 76 year-old male with a contained ruptured aneurysm of the iliac to the urinary bladder. Complaints on presentation were abdominal pain and hematuria; suspected iliacovesical fistula was reported on a computed tomography (CT) scan, which was confirmed during laparotomy. The patient died 20 days after the procedure due to mixed distributive septic shock.
