Spontaneous colocutaneous fistula in amoebic colitis
Trop Geogr Med.
1983 Sep.
Abstract
Formation of spontaneous colocutaneous fistula in amoebic colitis is an unusual and rare complication. This case illustrates amoebiasis of the sigmoid colon with pericolic abscess which ruptured externally to develop into a spontaneous colocutaneous fistula. Early diagnosis and proper treatment could have prevented these complications.
