    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Gallstone ileus, a rare complication of gallstones, occurs when a gallstone erodes through the gallbladder wall into the gastrointestinal tract, causing obstruction.
    • Recurrence of small bowel obstruction due to gallstones is possible, often within days post-surgery, due to missed stones or continued fistula passage.

    Observation:

    • This report details a unique case of recurrent gallstone small bowel obstruction with a 6-month interval between initial presentation and recurrence.
    • The patient's presentation involved a significant delay, challenging typical recurrence timelines.

    Findings:

    • The study critically reviews the radiologic signs associated with gallstone ileus, crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Identification of overlooked intraenteric stones or stones passed through a cholecystoenteric fistula is key to understanding recurrence.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of thorough radiologic assessment in diagnosing and managing gallstone ileus.
    • Understanding delayed recurrence patterns can improve patient management strategies and surgical planning for cholecystoenteric fistulas.
