Surgical and radiological importance of a rare cysto-duodeno-colic peritoneal fold
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is quite common to see abnormal peritoneal folds in the abdominal cavity. Some of them might compress or strangulate the viscera and others might determine the direction of the flow of peritoneal fluid, pus or blood. Many unusual clinically important peritoneal folds such as Ladd's band, cysto-gastro-colic fold, omento-cystic fold, and cysto-colic fold have been reported earlier. Knowledge of these folds is important for radiologists, gastroenterologists, and surgeons. We report an unusual cysto-duodeno-colic fold observed during our dissection classes. The fold was seen to compress the duodenum and colon. The fold extended from the descending part of the duodenum and the transverse colon to the gallbladder. It enclosed the entire gallbladder. A case similar to this has not been reported yet. It is important for the gastroenterologists and laparoscopic surgeons to be aware of this fold to avoid misdiagnosis and iatrogenic injuries.

Two cases of benign duodeno-colic fistula are described. In the first, no cause was evident, but complete cure of an illness characterized by fatty diarrhoea, loss of weight, anaemia, and osteomalacia followed surgical repair. In the second patient cure was spontaneous after a peri-duodenal abscess from a perforated post-bulbar duodenal ulcer discharged into the hepatic flexure of the colon.

متن کاملThree cases of spontaneous duodeno-colic fistula.
Three cases of duodeno-colic fistula are presented, where a communication was demonstrated between the anterior aspect of the third part of the duodenum and the transverse colon at the point of mesocolic attachment. At operation the fistulae were found to be some 6 to 9 cm in length, and histological examination showed a well marked muscular layer with an intact epithelium. In view of the absen...
