Abstract

CONTEXT: Colonic complications are rare but lethal events in acute pancreatitis. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 42-year-old man who suffered from a pancreatico-colonic fistula following a necrosectomy for severe pancreatitis; the fistula was demonstrated by spiral computed tomography using rectal water soluble contrast media. CONCLUSION: Computed tomography with rectal contrast detects pancreatico-colonic fistulas.
