Abstract
- Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs) are abnormal connections between epithelium of the intestinal lumen and skin. The diagnosis and characterization of an ECF is vital to determine the appropriate treatment approach. Diagnosis of ECFs are typically made by visualization of succus drainage from a surgical incision. However, when diagnosis is unclear, various radiological modalities are available to aid diagnosis. We report a case of incidental application of nuclear medicine hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan which led to the diagnosis of an ECF.
