Abstract

This is a complicated and difficult case. The onset symptom of a 62-year-old male was recurrent intestinal obstruction. Ileocecal and ileocolic operation was done twice. Massive gastrointestinal bleeding occurred due to giant fistula of descending duodenum, which connected to ileocolic anastomosis. After consultation by multidisciplinary team, jejunal-feeding tube was placed to provide enteral nutrition. With general condition improving, duodenal fistula repair and involved bowel resection were performed. Postoperative pathology confirmed Crohn's disease. The patient was treated with thalidomide and recovered well during follow-up.
