Abstract
Objective: Rare co-existance of disease or pathology. Background: Choledochoduodenal fistula is an uncommon complication secondary to peptic ulcer disease. Determining this diagnosis is challenging especially when confronted with unspecific physical and radiological findings. Case Report: Here we report a case of a 29-year-old Ethiopian female who presented to Geitaoui University Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon with epigastric pain and was diagnosed to have of choledochoduodenal fistula. Conclusions: Choledochoduodenal fistula is a rare complication of duodenal ulcer and this case report may help clinicians to identify suspected cases of this entity with similar presentations.
