Gastrocolic Fistula: A Shortcut through the Gut

Abstract EN

Gastrocolic fistulas are observed in association with several conditions.

Traditionally, peptic ulcer disease was commonly implicated in the formation of gastrocolic fistulas; however, this is now a rare etiology.

Here, we present a case of gastrocolic fistula secondary to peptic ulcer disease alone, in addition to reviewing the literature and providing options for diagnosis and treatment.
