  • Title: [Aerobilia as an initial sign of a cholecystoduodenal fistula--a case report].
    Author: Schiemann U, Dayyani V, Müller-Lisse UG, Siebeck M.
    Journal: MMW Fortschr Med; 2004 Sep 02; 146(35-36):39-40. PubMed ID: 15540538.
    Abstract:
    An 82 year old female patient has the following medical history: repeated chemotherapy and radiation therapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a radiation-induced osteoblastic osteosarcoma and a longstanding cholecystolithiasis with sclero-atrophic cholecystitis. She appeared at the practice and complained about a dull food-dependent mesogastric and epigastric pain as well as a discrete scleral jaundice. Sonography and CT showed air inclusions in the bile ducts. Subsequently, a cholecystoduodenal fistula was found intraoperatively. The cause could be the long-existing cholecystolithiasis.
