Cholecystocolonic fistula: serial CT imaging features.
We report the CT imaging findings of an unusual case of cholecystocolonic fistula, which had presented in the emergency department with melena. It is rare for the fistulous communication to occur between gallbladder and the colon. We describe the serial imaging findings, which were diagnostic of this condition.
