    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Benign duodenocolic fistulas are uncommon gastrointestinal abnormalities.
    • Understanding their presentation and management is crucial for effective patient care.

    Observation:

    • Patients commonly experience chronic diarrhea, nausea, and feculent vomiting.
    • Physical examination findings are often nonspecific, showing signs of malnutrition due to chronic diarrhea.

    Findings:

    • Barium enemas are frequently diagnostic for duodenocolic fistulas.
    • Surgical intervention, including fistula excision and repair of duodenal and colonic defects, is the primary therapeutic approach.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis and timely surgical treatment are essential for resolving symptoms and preventing complications.
  • This review highlights the importance of considering duodenocolic fistulas in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal distress.
