- Fistulization of J-PEG Jejunal Tube into the Colon in a Patient Treated with Duodopa® Infusion: A Case ReportPublication . Russo, P; Costa, M; Silva, M; de Sousa, A; Carvalho, D; Saiote, J; Mendes, MThe continuous delivery of a levodopa/carbidopa gel suspension (Duodopa®) into the small bowel through a jejunal tube inserted via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy represents a new treatment method in advanced Parkinson disease. Some severe device-related complications have been described in the last few years. Some of them are associated with phytobezoar formation at the pigtail of the catheter. We present the case of a Parkinson disease patient treated with the Duodopa infusion system complicated by jejunal tube fistulization into the colon. We suggest a possible treatment strategy for this complication, which has not been described in the literature to date.
