E Pappalardo et al. Acta Chir Belg. 2007 Jun.

Colosplenic fistula associated to splenic abscesses is a rare condition in Crohn's disease (CD). Diagnosis is difficult and a computed tomography (CT) scan is helpful. Treatment includes surgical procedure. Atypical locations of fistulas and abscesses should not be overlooked in CD.
