    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, often presenting with bowel obstruction.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging due to the radiolucent nature of gallstones.

    Observation:

    • A female patient presented with symptoms of intestinal obstruction.
    • Endoscopic and radiological examinations, including barium studies of the duodenum, identified two radiolucent gallstones.

    Findings:

    • The gallstones were confirmed as the cause of the duodenal obstruction.
    • Successful surgical removal of the gallstones was achieved through a gastrotomy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering gallstone ileus in patients with unexplained intestinal obstruction.
  • Gastrotomy remains a viable option for the management of gallstone-induced bowel obstruction.
