Abstract:
Bouveret syndrome is an uncommon condition that leads to gastric outlet obstruction. Diagnosis and treatment may get delayed due to non-specific presentation and rarity of the condition, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with epigastric pain and nausea and was diagnosed with Bouveret syndrome. Despite the low success rate, endoscopy should be the first-line diagnostic and therapeutic procedure and is associated with a low mortality rate as compared to surgical intervention. This case underscores the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of Bouveret syndrome.
