Abstract:
We report on the early diagnosis of gallstone ileus by sonography. The usually principal x-ray sign was missing in the pneumocholangiogram or pneumocholecystogram. The size and position of the stone were easy to determine by ultrasound. While character of pain and x-ray results are often misleading in gallstone ileus sonography offers another way to diagnosis and may so avoid the heavy mortality of the disease.
