[Pyelo-duodenal fistula complicating pyelonephritis].

The authors report a case of a pyeloduodenal fistula secondary to a gravidic pyelonephritis. The diagnosis was based on intravenous urography. The etiology was probably an unnoticed dysectasia of the pyelo-ureteral junction. The patient recovered following nephrectomy and duodenal suture. The authors conclude with a discussion of the diagnostic and prognostic interest of percutaneous nephrostomy in the management of this rare complaint.
