Abstract

Context: Colonic complications are rare but lethal events in acute pancreatitis.

Case Report: We report the case of a 42-year-old man who suffered from a pancreatico-colonic fistula following a necrosectomy for severe pancreatitis; the fistula was demonstrated by spiral computed tomography using rectal water soluble contrast media.

Conclusion: Computed tomography with rectal contrast detects pancreatico-colonic fistulas.
