Gouverneurs syndrome, named for French physician R. Gouverneur, is a urological condition marked by a vesicointestinal fistula, an abnormal connection between the bladder and intestine, accompanied by suprapubic pain, frequent urination, painful urination, and a persistent urge to defecate. The shared surname with the American statesman Gouverneur Morris is coincidental.
