Bouveret's syndrome, a rare intestinal blockage caused by gallstones, occurs when a gallstone forms a fistula and obstructs the duodenum. This case report reviews the optimal surgical management for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Bouveret's syndrome is a rare clinical presentation of gallstone ileus.
  • It involves a gallstone eroding through the gallbladder wall into the duodenum, forming a cholecysto-duodenal fistula.

Observation:

  • The case involves a patient presenting with symptoms of high-grade intestinal obstruction.
  • Imaging revealed a large gallstone impacted within the duodenum, consistent with Bouveret's syndrome.

Findings:

  • The primary finding is the successful surgical intervention for a complex case of Bouveret's syndrome.
  • The report details the specific surgical technique employed to resolve the duodenal obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering Bouveret's syndrome in patients with obstructive symptoms and a history of gallstones.
