title: [Diarrhea].
abstract: A 50-year-old female patient complained about watery diarrhea for two weeks. Because of back pain nonsteroidal antirheumatics had been prescribed for months before. The endoscopic and radiologic investigation demonstrated a large gastrocolic fistula due to NSAID-induced gastric ulceration and an acid-induced colitis in the transverse colon. Treatment consisted in partial gastric resection and resection of the transverse colon.
