[Colo-hepatic fistula secondary to hydatid disease. Clinical case].
The fistulization of a hepatic hydatid cyst to the colon is a very rare complication and only two cases have been described in the medical literature. We report a 49 year-old male in whom this complication was suspected in the preoperative period. He was submitted to a cystotomy and colonic exteriorization. Recovery was uneventful.
