Abstract:The current clinical and therapeutic status of spontaneous intestinal biliodigestive fistulae in 14 of the author's own cases is presented. Two groups are distinguished: those "short-circuit" connections to the gastro-intestinal tract due to biliary disease--the biliodigestive fistula in the narrower sense as well as enterobiliary fistulae caused by gastro-intestinal disease. Differences in etiology, clinical presentation, therapy and operative lethality make it seem advisable to form two categories, A and B, … Show more
“…Aufgrund der engen Lagebeziehung handelt es sich bei 50-80 % der Gallefisteln um Fisteln zum Duodenum. Fisteln zum Kolon sind seltener (10-30 %)[2,16,22]. Cholezysto-kolische Fisteln gehen klinisch oft mit Diarrhöen, Steatorrhöen, Bauchschmerzen, Übel-keit, Gewichtsverlust und dyspeptischen Symptomen einher[11].…”
Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most frequent medical emergencies. The most common causes are inflammations, ulcers, neoplasms and angiodysplasias. They can usually be diagnosed and treated via endoscopy, but less frequent causes, which require increased diagnostic and therapeutic efforts, must also be considered. We present the case of a 53-year-old patient with gastrointestinal bleeding. He was diagnosed with transverse colon bleeding in another hospital. A bleeding diverticulum was assumed. Following admission to our hospital, a bleeding through the ampulla of Vater was discovered via gastroscopy. The CT scan showed arterial bleeding into the gallbladder. We immediately performed a laparotomy and found a cholecysto-colic fistula as the cause of the bleeding into the transverse colon.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
