Abstract :

[en] Aspiration after regurgitation of gastric content is a rare but potentially serious complication of colonoscopy. This is a case report of a patient who had a regurgitation followed by laryngospasm and hypoxemia during an elective colonoscopy for Crohn's disease. The original feature of this case is the type of regurgitated liquid, namely fecal. Indeed, this patient had an unknown colo-gastric fistula. Pulmonary aspiration was ruled out and a vigilant attitude allowed a favorable outcome.
