Jejunal gallstone ileus: an unusual site of gallstone impaction

Mandeep Kumar Garg et al. J Gastrointest Surg. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Introduction: Gallstone ileus is a life-threatening surgical emergency where characteristic imaging can be diagnostic. Jejunum is the one of the rare sites of gallstone impaction.

Materials and methods: We hereby emphasize the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) by describing a case of jejunal gallstone ileus with cholecystoduodenal fistula in a 59-year-old lady who presented with symptoms and signs of proximal small bowel obstruction.

Conclusion: MDCT of the abdomen established the diagnosis, and the patient managed surgically.
