The bilioenteric fistulas, first described in 1890 by Courvoisier, are found in 0.15% 8% of biliary tract operations. Combined fistulas involving the gallbladder, duodenum and colon are extremely rare. We presented a case of 38 year female who presented to our OPD with complaints of pain right upper abdomen for seven months in whom a cholecysto-duodenocolic fistula (Figure 1 & Figure 2) was fou...

benign duodenocolic fistula (dcf), known as a fistula between the duodenum and colon with or without cecum of nonmalignant origin, is an unusual complication of different gastrointestinal diseases. the present paper records a case in which the patient presented with chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight lossas well as having a history of gastric ulcer. most frequently the condition presents ...

We describe a case of malignant duodenocolic fistula in which after a radical resection of right hemicolectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy, the duodenal defect was reconstructed using a conduit of transposed ileum. This technique, not previously described, offers an alternative to 'duodenal patching', which allows only limited duodenal resection, or gastroenterostomy with its attendant side-eff...

BACKGROUND Fistulae between the colon and upper gastrointestinal tract are distressing and uncommon complications of malignancies involving this region. We report a case of a middle-aged man with a locally advanced and metastatic distal transverse colon malignancy who presented with a duodenocolic fistula proximal to the primary tumor and underwent palliative surgery. CASE PRESENTATION A 50-y...

A 44-year-old man with upper abdominal pain, diarrhea and 25 kg weight loss since 3 months ago was admitted. He had a history of dyspepsia and peptic ulcer disease 4 months before admission. Gastroduodenal endoscopy and upper gastrointestinal series with barium study were done. Biopsies and CT-scan ruled out malignancies. Endoscopy and radiology studies revealed a duodenocolic fistula. He under...

We herein describe the case of a 51-year-old man with a duodenocolic fistula (DCF) caused by a stomal ulcer. The patient complained of watery diarrhea, dysgeusia and malnutrition. His medical history included distal gastrectomy with Billroth I reconstruction for duodenal ulcer perforation. A combination study using endoscopy and contrast imaging confirmed the presence of DCF. Laparotomic fistul...

A 72-year-old man presented with acute cholangitis. He underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP), which revealed a type IIIb Klatskin tumor. An 8.5-Fr, 12-cm plastic biliary stent was placed. Cholangiocarcinoma was confirmed cytologically and this was deemed unresectable. One month later, the patient presented with abdominal pain and cholestasis without peritoneal signs, fever, or ...
