  • Title: Gastrojejunal fistula: a complication of peptic ulcer disease.
    Author: Phifer TJ, Gladney JD, McDonald JC.
    Journal: South Med J; 1986 Aug; 79(8):1015-7. PubMed ID: 3738574.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous gastrojejunal fistula formation is rare and its differential diagnosis multifactorial. Precise etiologic determination is necessary for proper management. We have reported a case typical of gastrojejunal fistula due to peptic ulcer disease. In contrast to the gastrocolic fistula, symptoms of the gastrojejunal fistula are those of the ulcer diathesis itself. The preferred management is by en bloc one-stage resection after preoperative colon preparation.
