ENTEROHEPATIC FISTULA ASSOCIATED WITH LIVER ABSCESS - AN EXTREMELY RARE PRESENTATION
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) fistulas represent abnormal duct like communications between the gut and another epithelial-lined surface, such as another organ system, the skin surface, or elsewhere along the GI tract itself.(1) The development of a GI fistula can markedly increase patient morbidity and mortality, rendering detection of the fistula critical. Imaging often plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of GI fistula. The emergence of cross-sectional imaging techniques, however, has modified the radiologic approach to GI fistulas.(1) Here, we present an interesting and extremely rare form of acquired gastrointestinal internal fistula, an enter hepatic fistula following rupture of liver abscess into adjacent colon.
