    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Benign duodencolic fistula is an uncommon complication of various gastrointestinal diseases.
    • It is often overlooked in differential diagnoses due to non-specific symptoms.

    Observation:

    • Diarrhea and weight loss are key presenting features, potentially obscured by concurrent conditions.
    • Barium enema emerges as the most effective diagnostic modality.

    Findings:

    • The study reviews four cases, detailing clinical presentations, diagnostic approaches, etiology, and management strategies.
    • Early surgical intervention, coupled with correction of metabolic disturbances via fluid, electrolyte, and parenteral nutrition, is crucial.

    Implications:

    • Prompt diagnosis and timely surgical management are vital for favorable patient outcomes.
    • Understanding the clinical nuances of benign duodencolic fistula aids in its recognition and treatment.
