Bouveret syndrome, a rare gastric outlet obstruction, occurs when a gallstone forms a fistula between the gallbladder and duodenum. This case highlights a unique presentation in a 78-year-old male.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Bouveret syndrome is an uncommon cause of gastric outlet obstruction.
  • It results from a gallstone eroding through a bilioenteric fistula into the stomach or duodenum.

Observation:

  • A 78-year-old male presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain.
  • Imaging revealed a gallstone in the proximal duodenum.
  • Pneumobilia and a cholecysto-duodenal fistula were also noted.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation and imaging findings were consistent with Bouveret syndrome.
  • This represents a rare but significant clinical entity.

Implications:

  • Early recognition of Bouveret syndrome is crucial for timely intervention.
