title: [Internal biliary fistula: study of 13 cases and review of the literature].
abstract: Between 1986 and 1994 13 patients with spontaneous internal biliary fístula were operated at the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo. Ten were patients women and three were men. Their mean age was 55.2 years (range 30 to 87 years). The etiology was cholelithiasis in all cases and the most frequent type of fístula was cholecystoduodenal. There was no mortality. A review of literature of this condition and a discussion about the diagnosis, treatment and etiopathogenesis are presented.
