Abstract:
A rare case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage is presented. The cause of bleeding was ulcer of the descending duodenum due to erosion of an impacted gallstone. Oral endoscopy made possible a preoperative diagnosis and, pushing the gallstone, made surgery easier. The patient underwent enterolithotomy and had a completely uneventful course.
