Colocutaneous Fistula

Colocutaneous fistula caused by diverticulitis is relatively uncommon with colo-umbilical fistulas being even rarer. We herein report a rare case of a spontaneous colo-umbilical fistula due to diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon. The fistula developed from a diverticulum of the sigmoid colon that discharged through the umbilicus after two episodes of acute diverticulitis. The condition was successfully treated by resectional surgery.

Abstract An internal hernia is a protrusion of viscera through a congenital or acquired defect in the mesentery of peritoneum. They account for <0.9% of all small bowel obstructions [1] and ~4% of obstructions due to hernias [2]. We present a rare case of closed loop obstruction secondary to a band adhesion traversing the lower abdomen from a sigmoid colon appendage epiploicae to the right pelvic wall. A 82-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with nausea, vomiting and worsening right sided abdominal pain for 24 h, on the background of previous pelvic radiation and hysterectomy for uterine cancer. She was subsequently found to have a closed loop obstruction with 30 cm of ischemic bowel strangulated by a band adhesion from a sigmoid colon appendage epiploicae to the right abdominal wall. The patient underwent a successful small bowel resection with primary anastomosis and made an uneventful recovery.

Cmv Colitis

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis with a cobblestone appearance is rare, and its endoscopic and pathological features remain poorly described. A 78-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for disturbance of consciousness, high-grade fever, and diarrhea occurring up to 7 times a day. Sigmoidoscopy revealed a circumferential ulcer with mucosal defect, an ulcer with a cobblestone appearance extending from the upper rectum to the sigmoid colon, and an irregular ulcer on the lower rectum. She was histopathologically diagnosed with CMV colitis and intravenously treated with ganciclovir (5 mg/kg) for 7 weeks. Colonoscopy after treatment revealed an improvement of the ulcers extending from the rectum to the sigmoid colon, but no significant improvement of her general condition. She died from sepsis 4 months after hospitalization. To our knowledge, this report represents a valuable addition to the CMV literature describing a rare case of CMV colitis with a cobblestone appearance.
