A cholecystoenteric fistula is an anomalous communicating tract between the gallbladder and any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. It is a rare complication of gallstone disease and typically affects elderly patients with multiple medical comorbidities. These fistulae can present in a variety of ways, and the diagnosis is often made only after extensive workup. Despite notable advances in imaging techniques in the last half-century, a considerable number of cases are still discovered incidentally during open or laparoscopic surgery. We present a series of 3 cases, each with different etiologies and presentations, but all of whom were found to have a cholecystoenteric fistula. Each case was managed differently, highlighting the diversity of this intriguing condition.
胆囊肠道瘘是胆囊与胃肠道任何节段之间的异常连通通道。它是胆结石疾病的一种罕见并发症,通常影响患有多种内科合并症的老年患者。这些瘘管可通过多种方式表现出来,往往要经过全面检查后才能确诊。尽管在过去半个世纪中成像技术有了显著进步,但仍有相当数量的病例在开腹手术或腹腔镜手术期间被偶然发现。我们报告了3例病例,每例病因和表现各异,但均被发现患有胆囊肠道瘘。每例病例的处理方式不同,凸显了这种有趣病症的多样性。
