Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, leading to intestinal obstruction.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to its infrequent occurrence and varied presentations.

Observation:

  • The study reviewed four consecutive cases of surgically confirmed gallstone ileus.
  • Computed tomography (CT) was the primary imaging modality used.

Findings:

  • CT demonstrated characteristic findings of gallstone ileus, including pneumobilia, ectopic gallstones, and signs of obstruction.
  • The imaging accurately identified the impacted gallstone and its location, facilitating surgical planning.

Implications:

  • CT imaging plays a crucial role in the timely and accurate diagnosis of gallstone ileus.
