Abstract

The migration of gallstones from the gallbladder into the gastrointestinal tract has been recognized for over 100 years. The most common way gallstone reaches the digestive tract is through a fistula between the gallbladder and the duodenum. Large stones become impacted in the duodenum and result in gastric outlet obstruction (Bouveret's syndrome). In this report, we present a 81-years old patient with the cholecystoduodenal fistula, which was diagnosed by ultrasound and computed tomography and effectively surgically managed. Even Bouveret syndrome is rare, with a timely diagnosis followed with an appropriate treatment maybe we could decrease morbidity and mortality rates of this complication.
