  • Title: Pancreatocolonic fistula due to severe acute pancreatitis: imaging findings.
    Author: De Backer AI, Mortelé KJ, Vaneerdeweg W, Ros PR.
    Journal: JBR-BTR; 2001 Apr; 84(2):45-7. PubMed ID: 11374629.
    Abstract:
    Colonic involvement is an uncommon but potentially lethal complication of severe acute pancreatitis. The spectrum of colonic complications includes localized ileus with "pseudo-obstruction", obstruction, necrosis, hemorrhage, fistula, and ischemic colitis. We report on a patient who developed pancreatocolonic fistulization in the course of protracted severe acute pancreatitis. Emphasis is made on the computed tomographic and water soluble contrast enema findings.
