|
Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs) are abnormal connections between epithelium of the intestinal lumenand skin. The diagnosis and characterization of an ECF is vital to determine the appropriate treatmentapproach. Diagnosis of ECFs are typically made by visualization of succus drainage from a surgicalincision. However, when diagnosis is unclear, various radiological modalities are available to aiddiagnosis. We report a case of incidental application of nuclear medicine hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acidscan which led to the diagnosis of an ECF.
