Abstract EN
Colocutaneous fistula caused by diverticulitis is relatively uncommon with colo-umbilical fistulas being even rarer.
We herein report a rare case of a spontaneous colo-umbilical fistula due to diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon.
The fistula developed from a diverticulum of the sigmoid colon that discharged through the umbilicus after two episodes of acute diverticulitis.
The condition was successfully treated by resectional surgery.
