Cholecystoduodenal fistula (CDF) is the most common cholecystoenteric fistula, a late complication of gall-bladder disease with calculus, and is mainly encountered in elderly and female. A adolescent patient with cholecystoduodenal fistula and malrotation is illustrated. Direct plain abdomen x-ray demonstrated air in the biliary system. Computerized tomography revealed CDF associated with anomaly of intestinal malrotation. CDF is caused by malrotation, and cholecystitis has not been reported before. In this regard our patient is the first and youngest reported case. We suggest that CDF, probably, is a consequence of malrotation. The patient’s clinical features and operative management are presented and discussed with current literatures.
