Íleo biliar:: complicación poco frecuente de la litiasis vesicular / Biliary ileum:: an uncommon complication of vesicular lithiasis

Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 80 años de edad, con antecedentes de diabetes mellitus de tipo II, cardiopatía isquémica y obesidad exógena, que ingresó de urgencia, por presentar un cuadro de dolor abdominal, varios vómitos y distensión abdominal de 3 días de evolución. De forma secundaria presentó una deshidratación moderada. En la radiografía simple de abdomen se constataron signos radiológicos de oclusión intestinal, que corroboraron una ecografía abdominal y una tomografía axial computadorizada de abdomen. Se corrigió el desequilibrio hidroelectrolítico y se realizó una laparotomía exploradora, en la que se encontró un cálculo grande enclavado en el íleon terminal. Se realizó una enterolitotomía con enterorrafia y resolvió el cuadro oclusivo. A los 16 días del alta, la paciente reingresa con un cuadro similar y al reintervenirla se constató la presencia de otro cálculo y de una fístula colecistogástrica, que involucraba la vesícula biliar y el antro gástrico. Se reparó mediante colecistectomía y gastrorrafia. Al final del transoperatorio la paciente presentó un episodio de fibrilación ventricular, con bradicardia extrema, y finalmente un paro en asistolia. Fue reanimada, pero la situación no se revirtió y la paciente falleció(AU)

This the case of a female patient aged 80 with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart failure and a exogenous obesity urgently admitted due to abdominal pain, vomiting and abdominal distention of 3 days course. In abdominal simple radiograph radiological signs of intestinal occlusion were confirmed corroborated by abdominal echography and CAT. Hydroelectrolytic imbalance was corrected performing an exploration laparotomy observing the presence of large calculus located in terminal ileum. An enterolithotomy with enterorrhaphy and occlusive picture was resolved. At 16 from discharge, patient is re-admitted with a similar situation and at re-intervention presence of another calculus and a cholecystogastric fistula was verified involving the gall bladder and the gastric antrum repairing by gastrorrhaphy. At the end of transoperative period, patient had an episode of ventricular fibrillation with extreme bradycardia and an asystolic arrest. She was reanimated but there wasn't reversion and patient died(AU)

Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Gallbladder Forming a Cholecystogastric Fistula / 대한소화기내시경학회지

The most common type of gallbladder cancer is adenocarcinoma. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is a rare and aggressive disease. It is responsible for up to 1.7% of the malignant neoplasms of the gallbladder. It characteristically presents with invasive growth, a low tendency towards lymph node metastasis and a high incidence of local infiltration and hepatic metastasis, presenting a worse prognosis than adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder. Cases of gallbladder cancer forming a fistula to the stomach are also rare. We experienced a case of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder which formed a fistula to the stomach.

Cholecystogastric Fistula and the Transmigration of the Gallstone / 대한소화기내시경학회지

The internal biliary fistula between the gallbladder or bile duct and intestinal tract is a rare disease. Because symptoms and signs of biliary fistula are not specific, these patients are commonly investigated with computed tomography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and barium study. Among them, a cholecystogastric fistula is a very rare type of biliary fistula. We recently experienced a case of cholecystogastric fistula and transmigration of the gallstone to the stomach. A 53-year-old woman was transferred with the impression of gallbladder cancer. On evaluating the cause of right upper abdominal pain and nausea, we confirmed the cholecystogastric fistula with gastroscopy, upper GI series and ERCP. Cholecystectomy and the repair of the fistula was done.

A Case of Asymptomatic Cholecystogastric Fistula / 대한소화기내시경학회지

Biliary enteric fistulas which are caused by gallstone, peptic ulcer and carcinoma are an uncommon disease. Their incidence appears to increase recently with the advent of endoscopy. The usual types of the fistulas are choledochoduodenal, cholecystoduodenal and cholecystocolonic. But, cholecystogastric fistulas are very rare. Their symptoms are usually nonspecific and pneumobilia has been considered as a clue, but the diagnosis is difficult in most cases. At present, endoscopy is very helpful to the diagnosis. The treatment of asymptomatic fistulas is still in dispute. Endoscopic management is being used at times in recent days. We recently experienced a case of cholecystogastric fistula accidentally. During the evaluation for the cause of anemia, we suspected a fistula on endoscopy and confirmed it on endoscopic fistulography and managed it by endoscopic papillotomy and stone extraction.
