Cholecystogastric fistula (CGF) is a rare, abnormal communication between the gallbladder and the stomach that can be identified on abdominal computed tomography (CT) and confirmed via endoscopy. CGFs are not usually problematic. However, they can cause fatal complications. We present a case of an adult patient with a history of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) presenting with non-specific gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and found to have an iatrogenic CGF. The fistula is believed to be secondary to the PC tube. CGF from PC has not been described in the literature before.
胆囊胃瘘(CGF)是胆囊与胃之间一种罕见的异常通道,可通过腹部计算机断层扫描(CT)识别,并经内镜检查确诊。CGF通常不会引发问题。然而,它们可能导致致命并发症。我们报告一例成年患者,有经皮胆囊造瘘术(PC)病史,出现非特异性胃肠道(GI)症状,经检查发现患有医源性CGF。据信该瘘是由PC管引起的。此前文献中尚未描述过因PC导致的CGF。
