Duodenorenal fistula.
We describe two children (ages 5 and 13 years) with duodenorenal fistula. One fistula was due to perforation of the duodenum and renal migration of an ingested toothpick. The second fistula was caused by a chronic perinephric abscess. Both children underwent surgical fistula closure and right nephrectomy.
