Pancreaticocolonic fistula: a complication of pancreatic pseudocysts in childhood

D R Cooney et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1978 Oct.

Abstract

Two patients had an unusual complication of pancreatitis: pancreaticocolonic fistula, frequently associated with life-threatening gastrointestinal hemorrhage and sepsis. To avoid these complications, early diagnosis is important, but it may be difficult. Treatment consists of external drainage of the pancreatic pseudocyst or abscess and colonic diversion.
