  • Title: Migrating gallstone: from Bouveret's syndrome to distal small bowel obstruction.
    Author: Yau KK, Siu WT, Tsui KK.
    Journal: J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A; 2006 Jun; 16(3):256-60. PubMed ID: 16796435.
    Abstract:
    Gallstone ileus is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction. When the gallstone lodges inside the duodenum and causes gastric outlet obstruction, it is termed Bouveret's syndrome. However, it is rather unusual to seen the evolution of a migrating gallstone (from duodenum to distal small bowel) in a patient during the same hospital admission. We report a case of gallstone ileus from the initial presentation of gastric outlet obstruction to the development of distal small bowel obstruction within the same hospital admission, and its total laparoscopic treatment.
