A rare cause of chronic halitosis: Gastric-colic fistulae

摘要

A 32-year-old woman presented to the Gastroenterology Department with a 1-year history of fetid belching, halitosis, and diffuse abdominal pain. She had a history of morbid obesity and had undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, Lap- Band (Allergan, Irvine, California) 7 years before, although the band had to be endoscopically removed (AMI Gastric Band Cutter; Agency for Medical Innovation GmbH, Gotzis, Austria) 4 years later because of intragastric migration.
