ABSTRACT
Cholecystocolonic fistula with associated idiopathic megabowel (megacolon and megarectum) is a rare presentation as acute large bowel obstruction. Frequently presenting with chronic constipation, acute bowel obstruction is rarely encountered in the presence of concomitant cholecystocolonic fistula. This presents diagnostic and management difficulties with no consensus on appropriate surgical approach. This case highlights the outcomes following emergency total colectomy and subtotal cholecystectomy as a single-stage procedure for a 68-year-old man presenting with cholecystocolonic fistula secondary to idiopathic megabowel as acute large bowel obstruction.
