Answer :
Crohn enterocutaneous fistula: The barium fluoroscopy images clearly demonstrate a fistulous tract connecting the bowel lumen to the anterior abdominal wall. A follow-up MRI scan was performed and showed loops of small intestine adherent to the anterior abdominal wall, with surrounding edema and inflammation of the bowel wall. The fistula was thought to be a complication of the patient’s previous abdominal surgery in conjunction with his underlying Crohn disease.
