  • Title: [Gallstone duodenal obstruction or Bouveret's syndrome. Apropos of two cases].
    Author: Alame A, Solovei G, Samarcq B, Favriel JM, Fauchart JP, Petit J, Glavier F.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1991 Jan; 128(1):34-8. PubMed ID: 2016367.
    Abstract:
    Bouveret's syndrome is a rare form of Gallstone Ileus, characterized by its duodenal site after migration through a cholecysto-duodenal fistula in almost all cases. The two cases reported emphasize the interest of endoscopy in its early diagnosis. A therapeutic schema is proposed, based upon a systematic initial endoscopic extraction trial. The surgical treatment when needed is discussed in its modalities, and adapted to a reasonable evaluation of general and local conditions.
