Coloduodenal fistula: an uncommon sequel of colonic tuberculosis.
We report a 42-year-old man who developed coloduodenal fistula secondary to hepatic flexure tuberculosis. Initially, feeding jejunostomy and ileostomy were done; subsequently, after antitubercular therapy, right hemicolectomy and excision of the fistula with a sleeve of duodenal wall was performed.
