Gastrocolic fistula resulting from chronic pancreatitis.
Gastrocolic fistulas are rare, and are usually seen as complications of peptic ulcer or malignancy of the stomach and large intestine. We have described a case resulting from chronic relapsing pancreatitis. The patient was successfully treated with excision of the fistula and closure of the gastric and colonic wall.
