Isolated congenital urethrocutaneous fistula of the anterior urethra is an extremely rare anomaly in which, along with a normal urethra and meatus, a fistula is present. These cases usually present in the pediatric age group. To date, only one such case has been described in the adult population. We describe one such case in an adult and discuss the management of this uncommon anomaly.

Gastrojejunocolic fistula is a late complication of gastroenterostomy and is associated with inadequate gastric resection and incomplete vagotomy. In the past, attempted primary repair had high mortality and staged operations were normally performed. We present two cases of gastrojejunocolic fistula and discuss the modern management of this condition. In both cases, improved nutritional support...

Coronary cameral fistula (CCF) is a rare anomaly, where a communication exists between an epicardial coronary artery and a cardiac chamber. Assessing the hemodynamic significance of the fistula is crucial to make a decision concerning the management process. We present two cases of CCF, draining into the left ventricle, in which the hemodynamic significance was assessed by a fractional flow res...

Aorto-pulmonary artery fistula is a rare and lethal occurrence after thoracic surgery and aortic aneurysms. Here we present a rare occurrence of acute aorto-pulmonary artery fistula in outpatient department in a follow up patient of aortic valve replacement and discuss challenges faced in diagnosis, etiopathogenesis and management.
