Spontaneous choledocho-duodenal fistula is mostly associated with choledocholithiasis. Symptoms of fistula are non-specific therefore its diagnosis is usually made incidentally during diagnosis of other bile duct diseases. ERCP is a method which plays the basic role in diagnosis and treatment of fistula between common bile duct and duodenum.
