ABSTRACT
Intestinal hemorrhage, fistula formation, and intestinal obstruction are the common complications associated with intestinal tuberculosis. However, duodenal fistula due to intestinal tuberculosis is very rare. We experienced a case of 26-year-old woman with a fistula in the duodenum referred to our hospital due to abdominal pain. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a fistula at the duodenum with lymph node. After 2 months of anti-tuberculous medication, abdominal pain was improved and fistula size decreased. We report a case of fistula caused by duodenal tuberculosis.
