Two Sites of Obstruction with Gallstones: A Case Report of Bouveret Syndrome with a Concurrent Biliary Ileus.

Eric BergeronMaude Pichette
Published in: Case reports in surgery (2023)
Bouveret syndrome is a gastric outlet obstruction, and biliary ileus is an obstruction of the small bowel, and both are caused by a gallstone that escaped the gallbladder through a bilio-enteric fistula. The concurrent occurrence of obstruction at both sites is encountered very rarely, and only two such cases associated with Bouveret syndrome were reported before. We now present a case involving a 78-year-old female with simultaneous obstruction at both the duodenum and jejunum. The literature is reviewed to evaluate the incidence of such a situation and to discuss the management of the case.
