Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Aortoenteric fistula is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, often secondary to aortic aneurysm surgery.
  • Primary aortoenteric fistula is rare, typically involving the duodenum.

Observation:

  • A 76-year-old patient presented with melaena and hypovolaemic shock.
  • The cause was identified as a primary aortoduodenal fistula.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the pathogenesis and diagnostic challenges of primary aortoduodenal fistulas.
  • Computed tomography proved valuable in establishing the diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for managing aortoenteric fistulas.
  • This case underscores the importance of advanced imaging in identifying rare vascular-enteric communications.
