Gallstone ileus, a rare complication of gallstones, can recur, especially in older women. This case highlights a 52-year-old female experiencing a second episode of gallstone ileus within a year.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Gallstone ileus is an uncommon complication of gallstone cholecystitis.
  • It predominantly affects elderly female patients.
  • Recurrence rates are approximately 5% with a significant mortality of 20%.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of recurrent gallstone ileus in a middle-aged female.
  • To emphasize the potential for recurrence even after an initial episode.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Review of patient history and clinical course.

Main Results:

  • A 52-year-old female presented with recurrent gallstone ileus.
  • The recurrent episode occurred one year after the initial diagnosis of gallstone ileus.

Conclusions:

  • Recurrent gallstone ileus is a significant concern, even in non-elderly patients.
  • Prompt recognition and management are crucial due to high associated mortality.
