Spontaneous nephro-duodenal fistula

G Geisse, R A Blath

    Journal of the Canadian Association of Radiologists
    |June 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Nephroduodenal fistulas, rare conditions causing abdominal pain, often stem from kidney inflammation. Surgical removal of the kidney (nephrectomy) is the recommended treatment for these fistulas.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Urology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Nephroduodenal fistulas are rare, presenting with upper abdominal pain, pyelonephritis, and renal calculus.
    • Inflammatory kidney changes are the most common cause of recent nephroduodenal fistula cases.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases: one nephroduodenal fistula and one combined nephroduodenal and nephrocolic fistula.
    • X-ray imaging was crucial in precisely identifying the location and scope of the fistulas in both patients.

    Findings:

    • The fistulas were accurately diagnosed and characterized using monitored X-ray studies.
    • Both presented cases involved complex fistulous tracts.

    Implications:

    • Nephrectomy is identified as the optimal surgical intervention for nephroduodenal fistulas.
  • Understanding fistula origins and precise localization is key for effective management.
