  • Title: Gallstone ileus: CT findings.
    Author: Delabrousse E, Bartholomot B, Sohm O, Wallerand H, Kastler B.
    Journal: Eur Radiol; 2000; 10(6):938-40. PubMed ID: 10879707.
    Abstract:
    Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of recurrent gallstone cholecystitis. The classic radiographic triad of small bowel obstruction, pneumobilia and ectopic gallstone on abdominal plain radiograph is described with CT imaging. Because of the better resolution of CT compared with abdominal radiography and its recent accession to emergency use, radiologists should be aware of CT findings of gallstone ileus. We report a case in which gallstone ileus was initially diagnosed by CT.
