Duodenocolic fistula
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 55, Issue 2
Abstract
Most of the gastrointestinal fistulas appear in connection with inflammatory bowel disease, malignancy, peptic ulcer and pancreatitis, but acute or iatrogenic gastrointestinal fistulas can also develop in the aftermath of surgical interventions. In this case report, the examination of the 7-year-old male patient admitted with symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and malnutrition showed that he had duodenocolic fistula. Fistula considered to be connected with previous appendectomy operation or may also be associated with duodenal ulcer which may develop before appendectomy or with stress after the operation. The patient was treated by an operation to clear off the duodenocolic fistula and by support of appropriate nutrition. Therefore, gastrointestinal fistulas should be considered as diagnosis for the patients who have a history of previous operation and admitted with symptoms of malnutrition and malabsorption.
