La fistola di Duodenocolica è causata soprattutto da cancro del colon. Le altre cause sono: infiammatorie benigne con inclusione dell’ulcera peptica, malattie infiammatorie del- l’intestino e colecistite. Le cause iatrogene sono rare, e soprat- tutto con danno al duodeno in più punti. Nell’era della chirur- gia endoscopica,lo stent biliare viene usato per trattare l’ostru- zione della bile in modo crescente.Noi riportiamo il caso di un paziente con formazione di fistola duodenocolica che era secondaria ad uno stent biliare che emigra. Il paziente era totalmente asintomatico e la dia- gnosi fu fatta incidentalmente da tomografia computerizzata dell’addome. Il tratto di fistola è stato resecato dopo rimozione dello stent biliareParole chiave: Migrazione, stent biliare, fistola duodenale

Abstract
Duodenocolic fistula is mostly caused by colonic mali- gnancy. Other benign inflammatory causes include peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease and cholecystitis. Iatrogenic cau- ses are rare, and mostly related to operative injury to the duo- denum or colon. In the era of endoscopic surgery, biliary sten- ting is increasingly used to treat benign and malignant biliary obstruction.We report a patient with duodenocolic fistula formation that was secondary to a migrating biliary stent. The patient was totally asymptomatic and the diagnosis was made incidentally by computed tomography of the abdomen. The fistula tract was finally resected after removal of the biliary stent.Key words: Biliary stent migration, duodenocolic fistulaFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
