Abstract

A cholecystocolonic fistula is a rare complication of gallbladder stone disease. Its incidence is 0.06% to 0.14% and it usually presents asymptomatically in elderly patients. Currently there is no imaging study that is proven to be superior to the others for its adequate preoperative diagnosis. We present the case of a patient with nonspecific symptoms in which 3 different imaging studies evidenced an abnormal communication between the gallbladder and the hepatic flexure of the colon, the patient underwent cholecystectomy and intestinal resection with terminal stoma and subsequent recanalization without complications.
