Fistulae are one of the most frequent complications of Crohn's disease (CD) and occur in 30-40% of patients. Conversely, free perforation is a rare complication and is one of the indications for emergency surgery of CD because of secondary peritonitis. We report a case of a spontaneous fistula rupture secondary to a road traffic accident.
