    Abstract:
    Bouveret´s syndrome refers to the condition of gastric outlet obstruction caused by the impaction of a large gallstone into the duodenum after passage through a cholecystoduodenal fistula. Many endoscopic and surgical techniques have been described in the management of this syndrome, however the morbidity and mortality are still very high. We present the case of a 67-year-old female patient with Bouveret´s syndrome, with successful resolution with surgical treatment after two failed endoscopic treatments. El síndrome de Bouveret se refiere a la obstrucción de la salida gástrica causada por un lito grande impactado en el duodeno que pasó a través de una fístula colecistoduodenal. Se han descrito varias técnicas endoscópicas y quirúrgicas para tratar esta entidad, pero la morbimortalidad es aún muy elevada. Se presenta el caso de una paciente femenina de 67 años con síndrome de Bouveret, con exitosa resolución mediante tratamiento quirúrgico posterior a dos tratamientos endoscópicos fallidos.
