Anal fistula in infants is considered to be not due to diaper dermatitis but it is developed in the process: hyperfunction of sebaceous glands induced by either excessive secretion of sex hormones (maternal hormones and hormones in the baby) or disorders related to hormones-acne vulgaris-fistula forma tion. Because the incidence of infantile anal fistula is very high in patients below the age o...

We present the case of a five-year-old boy with a caroticoazygous fistula, which is an extremely rare congenital vascular malformation. The patient also had patent ductus arteriosus, a common cause of continuous murmur. The murmur continued despite successful coil embolization of the ductus. Repeated catheter-angiography revealed a large caroticoazygous fistula. The fistula was successfully emb...

Gastrojejunocolic fistula is an unusual, late complication of gastroenterostomy. Patients can present with symptoms of a fistula 20 years or more after their original gastric surgery. Establishing the diagnosis of gastrojejunocolic fistula is difficult because it has nonspecific symptoms on admission. The most frequently used diagnostic tools are barium enema and endoscopy. We herein report the...

Primary aorto-duodenal fistula is a rare and life-threatening cause of upper gastro-intestinal bleed. In this case report, a patient presented acutely with several episodes of haematochezia and pulseless lower limbs bilaterally. Primary aorto-duodenal fistula with peripheral vascular disease was diagnosed after an urgent CT angiogram was performed. She underwent left axillo-bifemoral bypass, re...

Introduction The incidence of renal failure is gradually increasing in India. These patients need renal replacement therapy. Renal replacement therapy is provided in the form of dialysis and renal transplant. As the survival after renal failure is increasing because of the availability of renal replacement therapy, there is increased demand for angio access. For temporary angio access central d...

A case in which an infiltrating mucinous carcinoma developed within a suprasphincteric fistula-in-ano is presented. The diagnosis was suspected on biopsy and confirmed by repeat biopsy. The clinical and histological features of this case establish with certainty that the carcinoma arose within the fistula and was not a secondary manifestation of the tumour. It is suggested that this rare compli...

Coloduodenal fistula is an uncommon disease entity. It can be caused by either a malignant or benign disease. We report the fifth case of coloduodenal fistula secondary to colonic diverticulosis. Our patient, a 60-year-old man, presented with severe diarrhoea and recurrent severe hypokalaemia. A partial colectomy with en bloc excision of the fistula was performed, and the duodenal defect was cl...

AST is commonly associated with pyriform sinus-thyroid fistula in children. Radiologic findings of AST are documented in a few reports. We report a new sign we term the "emerging echogenic tract sign," which reflects a patent air-containing pyriform sinus-thyroid fistula on follow-up US. Recognition of this sign is an important finding suggesting an associated pyriform sinus-thyroid fistula in ...

Laparoscopic management in a case of congenital urethroanal fistula with a normal anterior urethra in a 5-month-old male child is reported. A congenital H-type urethroanal fistula is a rare entity. Management of such fistula has always been surgical, ranging from perineal dissection, posterior saggital approach, to abdomino-perineal approach.
