Cholecystocolic Fistula: A Rare Complication of Gallstones
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Cholecystocolic fistula is a rare but possible complication of cholelithiasis. Symptoms of cholecystocolic fistula are usually minimal and/or non-specific, and preoperative diagnostic tools often fail to show such a rare condition, hence diagnosis is often achieved intraoperatively. We report a case of 54-year male presented to us with complaints of right upper abdomen pain. Provisional diagnosis of cholelithiasis was made and intraoperatively a cholecystocolic fistula was found for which cholecystectomy and primary repair of colonic opening of the fistula was done. Post-operative stay of patient was uneventful and patient was discharged successfully.Cholecystocolic fistula is a rare entity which requires a high degree of suspicion to diagnose it preoperatively. Even if it is diagnosed intraoperatively, it can be managed appropriately with surgery.
