Gastrocolic fistulae in benign peptic ulcer disease
Abstract:
Occurence of gastroenteric fistulae in non-surgically treated peptic ulcer disease is rare as suggested by only 26 cases published in the literature so far. We had the opportunity to care for 3 patients with this problem in a period of one year. At our institution, a search of the medical records dating back to 1955 yielded one additional case. Most of our patients had a history of salicylate or corticosteroid intake. We present here the details of these cases and discuss the possible role of the location of the ulcer and ulcerogenic anti-inflammatory drug ingestion in the causation of gastroenteric fistula. We believe the incidence of this uncommon entity may rise significantly with the more common use of salicylates and corticosteroids.

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
