Duodenoureteral fistula.

T B McElwee, R D Randall, J H Meredith

    Southern Medical Journal
    |December 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare duodenoureteral fistula, causing urinary symptoms, was successfully treated years after a traumatic abdominal injury. Surgical intervention involved removing the affected kidney and ureter and closing the duodenal opening.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Duodenoureteral fistulas are rare complications, often resulting from penetrating trauma.
    • Delayed presentation of symptoms like pneumaturia, dysuria, and hematuria can occur years after initial injury.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms of pneumaturia, dysuria, and hematuria.
    • These symptoms were linked to a duodenoureteral fistula, a rare condition.

    Findings:

    • The fistula developed five years after a shotgun injury to the right upper abdominal quadrant.
    • Surgical management included nephroureterectomy and successful closure of the duodenal defect.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering delayed complications from abdominal trauma.
    • Successful surgical repair of duodenoureteral fistulas is achievable, even years after the initial injury.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing such rare urological and gastrointestinal complications.
