Gallstone ileus, a rare cause of small bowel obstruction, can complicate endoscopic sphincterotomy. Consider this diagnosis after endoscopic treatment for large bile duct stones.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Endoscopic sphincterotomy is a common procedure for bile duct stones.
  • Gallstone ileus is a rare but serious complication.

Observation:

  • A case of gallstone ileus occurred after endoscopic sphincterotomy.
  • The patient had very large bile duct calculi.

Findings:

  • Gallstone ileus should be considered in patients presenting with small bowel obstruction post-endoscopic sphincterotomy.
  • Large bile duct calculi may increase the risk.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare complication of a common procedure.
  • Awareness of gallstone ileus is crucial for timely diagnosis and management in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
