  • Title: Bouveret's syndrome presenting as upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
    Author: Chait MM, Lerner AG.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1986 Dec; 81(12):1199-201. PubMed ID: 3491539.
    Abstract:
    A unique case of hematemesis is presented. The cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding was a pyloroduodenal ulcer caused by erosion of a 5-cm gallstone impacted in the duodenal bulb. On review of the world literature of Bouveret's syndrome, this is the first case in which a preoperative diagnosis was well established and the fourth such case in which a successful surgical outcome was obtained.
