title: [Duodenocaval fistula. Apropos of a case. Clinical case].
abstract: Among entero-vascular fistulae, the duodenocaval type is exceptional. A case arising in a patient operated 10 months ago from a right kidney cancer, is reported. The clinical feature associated a septicemia to an intestinal hemorrhage. The diagnosis of entero-vascular fistula was performed at the operating time. In the world literature only 8 cases of duodeno-caval fistulae have been previously reported. The injury of duodenocaval area is the most frequent etiology of the communication causing moderate digestive hemorrhage and understood septicemia. The imaging explorations may suspect the diagnosis that is confirmed baparotomy. The treatment is always a surgical one: closure of digestive fistula by intestinal patch and suture of vascular defect. The prognosis depends on experience and skill of the surgeon and remains serious.
